Striker suffers thigh injury and will miss international break

Liverpool are sweating on the fitness levels of Christian Benteke after he suffered a thigh injury which will keep him out of the international break with Belgium.

The Reds‘ next game is against fierce rivals Manchester United and they are already without star-man Philippe Coutinho due to suspension following his red card against West Ham United at the weekend.

Benteke Injury

Benteke suffered the injury against The Hammers and although the scan revealed just a slight problem, he still hasn’t trained since and hasn’t travelled with his Belgium team-mates.

However, Belgium boss Marc Wilmots, is hopeful he will be fit in time for the weekend’s match against Cyprus, which means he should then be fit for Liverpool‘s clash with United the week after.

Brendan Rodgers‘s side suffered two defeats to Louis van Gaal‘s men last year and will want some revenge this time around.
