Aston Villa striker Darren Bent has targeted a quick comeback from his ankle ligament injury.
It was confirmed earlier this evening that the 28-year-old is expected to miss three months' worth of action with the complaint.
That has thrown his participation for England at Euro 2012 into doubt, with the tournament due to get underway in early June.
However, Bent remains optimistic that he will return quicker than expected.
"I'm gutted to be out for so long at such a crucial part of the season, hopefully my recovery will be as quick as possible," Bent wrote on Twitter.
Bent has made 13 appearances for England, scoring four goals in the process.
