Belgium boss Marc Wilmots: 'Christian Benteke full of doubt'

Belgium boss Marc Wilmots suggests that Christian Benteke might fail to get into the squad for Euro 2016 because of his lack of playing time at Liverpool.

Belgium head coach Marc Wilmots has suggested that Christian Benteke may struggle to get into the squad for this summer's European Championships because of his form at Liverpool.

The striker, who cost the Reds £32.5m when he joined from Aston Villa last summer, has scored just eight goals in 33 games.

Benteke has struggled to gain a regular first-team role under manager Jurgen Klopp, and his compatriot Divock Origi has been preferred at times.

"It's difficult," Wilmots told Het Nieuwsblad. "Klopp arrived at Liverpool and has made his choice. Now, Christian Benteke is full of doubt.

"It's a shame for Benteke, but he still has time to show what he can do at Liverpool. He already missed the World Cup due to injury, missing the Euro would be painful for him.

"I will choose according to the profiles, not in the form of the last two months or anything like this."

Euro 2016 begins on June 10 in France.
