Bent has been linked with a move away from White Hart Lane
Tottenham striker Darren Bent will be out of action for two weeks after suffering a medial ligament injury.
The 25-year-old suffered the problem with his left knee in Saturday's 5-2 defeat by Manchester United.
Following scans this week Bent has been instructed to wear a knee brace for a fortnight before specialists make a further assessment.
The former Charlton forward has struggled to cement a starting place but has scored 17 goals this season.
Spurs face West Brom on Saturday as they chase a seventh-place finish and possible European football.
They then travel to Goodison Park to play FA Cup finalists Everton, before playing Manchester City at home and finishing the season with a trip to Liverpool.
Manager Harry Redknapp is said to be looking to add extra firepower to his squad with Kenwyne Jones and Roque Santa Cruz top of the list.
Bent, who started his career with Ipswich, moved to Charlton in 2005 and then onto White Hart Lane in June 2007, is one of a number of players not guaranteed a spot in Tottenham's starting XI.
Redknapp said this week: "I think this is the club to play at, there are only the top four, other than that they couldn't do any better than Tottenham.
"I'd stay, I'd stay and fight for my place. It's a club going places and we could have a great season next year. It's a squad capable of pushing the top four.
"We need a few new additions in a couple of areas. They are the areas I want to improve."
