Benteke fit for Aston Villa's trip to Sunderland

Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood says Christian Benteke will be fit enough to play some part in the weekend's clash with Sunderland.

?The Belgian striker missed the weekend's 2-0 FA Cup quarter-final triumph over West Bromwich Albion due to a hip injury but should be able to at least make the bench for Saturday's trip to the Stadium of Light.

?"He's still feeling it. He'll be in the squad, we'll give him as much time as we can to get him fit, but we changed it around and the boys who came in did well," said Sherwood.?
