Aston Villa handed Christian Benteke injury boost

By , Senior Reporter
Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke is named in Aston Villa's squad for this weekend's Premier League clash against Manchester City.

Christian Benteke is in line to make his return from a long-term injury this weekend having been named in Aston Villa's squad to face Manchester City.

The 23-year-old, who has been out since rupturing his Achilles in April, played an hour for Villa's Under-21 side earlier this week as he stepped up his recovery.

Benteke could now feature against the Premier League champions this weekend, with manager Paul Lambert revealing that he will make a final decision on the striker's fitness on Friday afternoon.

Villa are currently sixth in the Premier League table.
