Alex McLeish thinks there is little chance of the England striker, Darren Bent, returning to action for Aston Villa this season – but he could be ready for Euro 2012.

The striker underwent surgery on ruptured ankle ligaments at the start of March. "I don't believe there is a chance of him playing again for Villa this season, but the doc thinks that he's got a chance for the Euros," said the Villa manager.
