Darren Bent leaves DW Stadium on crutches

Aston Villa striker Darren Bent has left the DW Stadium on crutches and with his foot in a protective cast.

The 28-year-old was stretchered off following a collision with Wigan Athletic defender Antolin Alcaraz.

It appeared that the centre-forward was suffering with a problem in his left ankle.

The injury could now rule Bent out of England's friendly encounter with Holland next week.

Villa were held to a 0-0 draw by Wigan this afternoon.
