Christian Benteke, who had a more prominent season last year, has struggled to score goals for Aston Villa in the current season. He has only scored four goals in 14 matches, and his last goal was on the third day of the season. Additionally, Benteke is currently dealing with a hip injury. He was absent during Aston Villa’s defeat against Stoke City, and he will continue to be unavailable during the Boxing Day period, missing matches against Crystal Palace and Swansea. The team’s coach, Paul Lambert, will rely on Gabriel Agbonlahor to lead the attack in Benteke’s absence.
