**Christian Benteke Sidelined Again for Liverpool Amid Injury Woes**
Christian Benteke’s injury troubles continue to plague him. The Belgian international striker of Congolese descent, who recently returned from a thigh injury, has been forced to withdraw once more.
Benteke sustained a **knee injury** during Liverpool’s 1-1 draw against Southampton last weekend, in which he scored the Reds’ only goal. As a result, he will miss **Wednesday’s League Cup clash against Bournemouth** and is also doubtful for **Saturday’s Premier League encounter with Chelsea**.
This latest setback adds to Liverpool manager **Jürgen Klopp’s** challenges, with key forwards **Daniel Sturridge** and **Danny Ings** also sidelined due to injuries. Benteke had made his return in the Europa League against Rubin Kazan (1-1) after a month out, but his fitness remains a concern for the club.
