Christian Benteke will be out two weeks with a hamstring strain he suffered against Norwich City.

Liverpool’s £32.5 million summer signing from Aston Villa was withdrawn at halftime during Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Norwich after reporting a tight hamstring.

Benteke, who was already ruled out of Wednesday’s Capital One Cup third round tie against Carlisle United, will miss a reunion with Villa at Anfield on Saturday plus the Europa League tie at home to FC Sion next Thursday.
