Benteke's recovery is progressing well
|
The frontman suffered an Achilles injury in April, putting an early stop to his involvement with Villa last season and ruling him out of the World Cup.
However, he is known to have made excellent progress in recent months, and Lambert today revealed that he is edging closer to a first team return.
He said: "Hopefully, all being right, with a bit of luck if Christian doesn't have any major hiccups he will be back soon. I can't put a 100 per cent time limit on it but he is doing really well. To get him back training is important, first and foremost.
"At the minute the guy is doing great.
He is looking in great shape, the medical people deserve a lot of credit
for getting him in shape."
Lambert also delivered a positive report on Benteke's fellow striker Libor Kozak, who has also been making steady progress following his long-term injury.
The Scot added: "Touch wood everything is OK with their rehab and in the next few weeks they will be back."
