Pearce fumes over Bentley’s withdrawal

STUART PEARCE feels he has been let down by David Bentley after the midfielder’s surprise withdrawal from England squad for the European Under-21 Championships.

The Blackburn starlet has left manager Pearce a man short for the tournament in Holland after pulling out due to “fatigue”.

“I don’t agree with it. I told him last night I don’t agree with it in any way, shape or form,” Pearce said.
