Christian Benteke has made a scoring return with Aston Villa U21s.
Benteke made a scoring return to action after six months out by converting a penalty as Aston Villa's Under 21 side beat Bolton.
The Belgium striker completed 63 minutes in a match for the first time since he ruptured his achilles on April 3.
He was named from the start by coach Gordon Cowans with manager Paul Lambert keen to witness his star player in action before Manchester City visit Villa Park on Saturday.
After the match, Lambert said: "Christian played for about an hour today (Monday) and we' re delighted with how he came through the game. It was great to see him back out there and he played well in the time he was on the pitch.
"He scored a goal, which is great for him, and his general play was good, too, considering how long he's been away from it.
"We'll see how he feels tomorrow and how he recovers but it was a good, positive step for him today. It will have given him a lift to get out there and play and score a goal and that's great for him."
