Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert sweating on Christian Benteke scan results
ASTON VILLA boss Paul Lambert is nervously awaiting Christian Benteke's scan results.
The powerful Belgian forward pulled up in the 1-0 win over Norwich with what initially looked like a groin strain but is now a hip injury.
Villa's treatment table is mounting up and he may have to field a weakened side against Spurs in the Capital One Cup.
"It looks like his hip flexor at the moment," Lambert told the Birmingham Mail.
"The good thing with Christian is he's usually a quick healer.
"I don't know how long, we'll have to just wait and see.
"I don't know how bad it is. Obviously we've got a game tomorrow but the most important one is the following one on Saturday."
