Christian Benteke is set to return to action for Aston Villa ahead of schedule.
The People says the big striker is ahead of schedule as he recovers from a ruptured Achilles that ended his World Cup dream.
According to sources in Belgium, Benteke is pushing the Villans' manager and, if things go to plan, he may miss just three Premier League matches.
The two-week international break at the start of September has given the 23-year-old forward breathing space as he completes his recovery.
It had been anticipated that it would be November at the earliest before Benteke returned to action after suffering a setback that has a six-month recovery period.
