Tottenham striker Darren Bent has suffered a medial ligament injury to his left knee which could sideline him until next season. The 25-year-old picked is Spurs' top scorer this season with 17 goals.

Boss Harry Redknapp said: "Darren has had a knee problem that will keep him out for several weeks. He will not be around for a while.

"It is a blow for him because he has done well and scored goals. We need him and he needs to play. He has been in good form but what can you do?"
