Liverpool’s Christian Benteke to undergo scan after hamstring injury

For a player who cost £32.5m, the Reds should be maximising his strongest asset to score.

This puts him in doubt for Liverpool’s monumental clash against Everton on the 4th of October.

Benteke was initially withdrawn complaining of a tight hamstring but the symptoms failed to ease on Monday.

Ings, who joined Liverpool over the summer after his contract at Burnley came to an end, notched his first goal for the club in Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Norwich. He’s got a little problem on his hamstring.

“Christian is going to have an MRI scan today and hopefully we’ll find the problem”. “He’s been working his socks off, so it wasn’t a fluke – it was down to pure hard work that he managed to get that chance and finish it so well”. I hope he becomes one of the greatest strikers in the world.

“That [Daniel Sturridge’s return] was another positive from the weekend”.

The club have been forced to deny reports they approached former Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti about the possibility of taking over this season (Echo).

Sturridge then found Coutinho in the Norwich area with a pinpoint pass that allowed his team-mate to take his time and send a chip sailing just wide as a period of Liverpool domination continued.

Skipper Henderson has had surgery on his broken foot and he too will miss the match but other than the pair Rodgers has no further injury worries but he is likely to ring the changes to his team. With no win in their last five games, it would make sense for Rodgers to see the effect of a different formation and hand Ings the start he craves. “The thing with Mama has been about keeping him fit and making sure he is at a peak level of fitness to play the games”.

Liverpool first-team coach Gary McAllister, speaking at a press conference to preview the game on Brendan Rodgers’ behalf, said: “It was refreshing to see Danny’s performance“. When the heat is on you tend to come even closer. “Players need to get the fans going by playing attractive football and scoring goals”. “We want some stability in the shape and style so it will be similar to the weekend”.
