Silly Bent could be ruled out for up to six weeks after cutting his hand while chopping bread and onions.

There were fears that the England striker had sliced open a tendon but those fears were allayed after a visit to hospital, though the cut is still deep enough to make full-contact football dangerous.

He now looks likely to miss Charlton's first few games and could even be a doubt for England's friendly with Greece next month.
