Benteke speaks out ahead of his return from injury

Christian Benteke says he feels stronger after overcoming a long-term injury, reports the Birmingham Mail.

The striker has missed 20 games after suffering a knee injury but is now set to return to the fold as Palace look to fight against relegation from the Premier League.

Benteke spoke about his four-month absence in a club video, revealing his excitement to be back playing again with his team-mates. He said:

My game will change, definitely, because I am stronger. There is always a positive thing in a negative thing. I am excited but I know where I am coming from, I know all the work I have to put in to be here.

Crystal Palace have lost back-to-back Premier League games and sit 14th in the Premier League, however, they are just three points adrift of the bottom three.

The Eagles face an away trip to Southampton and a home game against Fulham as they try and get back to winning ways, with Benteke set to return to prove his worth.
