Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert has dismissed speculation that record signing Darren Bent could leave in the January transfer window.
He added: "There's nothing wrong with getting a knock at times, nothing wrong with it. He'll bounce back from it. He's only missed two games. He's nothing to prove to me or anybody else. I know what he can do. "Everybody's in the same boat, it's not just Darren. I don't think you can never have a guaranteed player. I also think you have to keep on earning it (a place in the team). If you do that, it's fine." Bent has started five Premier League games this season, scoring two goals.
