Bent: I'll Be Fit - Ipswich Town News
Striker Darren Bent says he thinks he'll be fit to take his place in the Town line-up when the Blues face Leicester at Portman Road on Saturday. The 21-year-old injured his left leg in a clash with Sheffield United's Chris Morgan last weekend.
Bent says: "It is a bit painful but I should be all right. We will see how it goes but I'm confident I will be available to play."
Town hope the striker will be back in training today. Shefki Kuqi, joint-top scorer with Bent on 14 goals, is not considered a doubt despite breaking his nose in the Sheffield United game.
