Liverpool injury news: Christian Benteke may miss visit of former side Aston Villa
The striker came off at half-time in the 1-1 draw with Norwich

In an interview that will be broadcast on LFCTV tonight, the 24-year-old spoke about his one and only goal for Liverpool so far, which came in the 1-0 win over Bournemouth at Anfield.
"I was proud of myself, because every week you want to play at Anfield and score in front of the fans, and have them singing your name," he said.
