Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert is hopeful that Christian Benteke will return against Tottenham on Sunday afternoon after suffering a hip injury. "He trained the last couple of days with Belgium and was on the bench which indicates that he felt pretty good," said Lambert.
"Our medical team spoke to theirs - as you do with every player - and everyone seems to have come back not too bad.
"I don't know if he'll be ready for Tottenham. He'll know himself how he's feeling. All I know is he was on the bench last night.
"He trained for a couple of days and hadn't had a reaction, but that might change, I'll just wait and see."
