Yorke urges Villa not to demand too much from Benteke

Former Aston Villa star Dwight Yorke has urged fans not to expect too much too soon from Christian Benteke.

The star man made his first appearance of the season in defeat to Manchester City on Saturday.

Yorke told the Express & Star: "It's been a long time and he has to take it easy but it is good news for Villa.

"He had an amazing first season and there's always one unknown candidate who comes in who people are not sure of, like (Leonardo) Ulloa at Leicester this season.

"There are always questions of whether he could do it the next year but unfortunately the injury knocked him down, he missed the World Cup and dropped behind (Romelu) Lukaku (for Belgium).
