Benteke will miss the Capital One Cup tie with Carlisle and is now battling to make the reunion with ex-club Aston Villa this weekend as he awaits the results of assessments into the knock suffered against Norwich last Sunday.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers would likely be the first premier league manager to be fired this season, he has failed to live up to the expectation of delivering trophies or qualifying the club to the champions league.
He has also said he is not concerned about reports linking former Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti with his position as “speculation” is normal in big clubs when the team is are not winning.
Assistant boss Gary McAliister confirmed Benteke was going for a scan on the injury on Tuesday and, while the results have not shown the problem to be too serious, Liverpool are not taking any risks and the Belgium global will not play this weekend against his former club.
This meant that Hery had to score, but couldn’t, with Bogdan’s save ensuring Liverpool scraped through to the next round, where they’ll face Bournemouth.
