Christian Benteke limps out of Belgium training?

Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke is reported to have limped out of training while on international duty with Belgium.

Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke reportedly limped out of training on Sunday while on international duty with Belgium.

The 22-year-old is now expected to miss his country's friendly against Japan in Brussels on Tuesday.

Benteke picked up a knee problem against Colombia last week and is said to have felt some discomfort as he and his international teammates trained together over the weekend.

However, the forward should be fit for Villa's Premier League encounter with West Bromwich Albion next Monday, according to the Daily Mail.

Benteke has scored five goals in 11 games for Villa so far this season.
