ROVERS star David Bentley looks set to start England Under-21s' friendly against their Norwegian counterparts tonight after a couple of late withdrawals.

Middlesbrough's Stuart Downing misses out with a knee injury and Spurs winger Aaron Lennon is ill.

Bentley has been in sparkling form for Rovers, scoring five goals since making the switch to Ewood Park, which included a superb hat-trick in the 4-3 win over Manchester United last month.
