Aston Villa will be without Belgium striker
Christian Benteke for four to six weeks after he
sustained a hip injury in last weekend's win at
Norwich City, the club said.
"Paul Lambert confirms Christian Benteke will
be out for four-six weeks. Better news than he
first feared," Villa said on the club's Twitter
page.
The news is a blow for Villa as Benteke had
begun the season superbly, scoring four
Premier League goals.
He was unable to play in Villa's 4-0 League Cup
defeat by Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday and
is likely to miss Belgium's remaining World
Cup qualifiers.
Belgium, who are five points clear at the top
of Group A, visit second place Croatia on
October 11 and host Wales four days later.
