Liverpool have been suffering the lack of good striking options for them at the club and this has affected them in no small measure. All of their strikers seem to be going from one injury spell to another and this is a cause of worry for new manager, Jurgen Klopp as he tries to fix the problems at the club and see if he can turn the club around.<\/p>\n

To add to his worries, Christian Benteke was injured and declared\u00a0unfit for the Chelsea game at Stamford Bridge.\u00a0 A game that could end up being Mourinho\u2019s last game in charge for Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Christian Benteke has however allayed Liverpool fans\u2019 worries as he has declared himself fit to return to the Liverpool squad for Saturday\u2019s crucial English Premier League match against Chelsea.<\/p>\n

He said about his injury that, \u201cI\u2019m good. I just felt something during the game against Southampton last week. Now it\u2019s behind me and I\u2019m looking forward to the Chelsea game.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a bit hard for me during the transfer window \u2013 I didn\u2019t really have a normal pre-season. Now I\u2019m trying to get back to my old level.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cInjuries are part of football but I\u2019m trying to do everything I can to be fit for the rest of the season and to play every game. I try to stay as long as possible [at Melwood] to be really fully fit.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Liverpool fans will be hoping this is true and that the striker will feature for the Reds as they need him desperately that day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
