Brendan Rodgers must wish he could ban his strikers from international football altogether
Christian Benteke looks set to miss Belgium’s Euro 2016 qualifier with Bosnia-Herzegovina on Thursday after picking up a thigh injury in training.
Liverpool will be waiting intently for further news on the condition of their top summer signing, having seen fellow striker Daniel Sturridge struggle for fitness ever since picking up a leg injury when on England duty a year ago.
“The medical team will see how the injury develops,” said Belgium manager Marc Wilmots. “If on Wednesday he doesn’t train because he feels some discomfort again, he won’t play on Thursday. I only play people who are fully fit. There are enough replacements.”
Belgium also play Cyprus on Sunday, but everyone at Liverpool will no doubt just be hoping Benteke arrives back to Melwood in one piece next week.
