Paul Lambert plays down fears that Christian Benteke's injury against Norwich City was serious and praises his replacement Libor Kozak.

Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert has played down fears of Christian Benteke's injury this afternoon.

The Belgian was taken off in the first half of Villa's 1-0 win over Norwich City and returned to the bench on crutches.

Lambert hopes that his injury is not too serious and also praised his replacement Libor Kozak, who scored the winner.

"I think he's not too bad," Lambert told BT Sport. "I think he's actually slipped, I think that was the initial injury but we'll see how it is.

"I was delighted for Kozak to come on and score his first goal, and that's why we brought Libor here, we needed back up just in case Christian got injured."

The win moves Villa up to 10th in the Premier League.
