Liverpool striker Christian Benteke could miss Belgium’s Euro 2016 qualifier with Bosnia on Thursday due to a thigh injury.

The £32.5million frontman suffered a strain in Saturday’s 3-0 defeat to West Ham at Anfield and hasn’t been able to train since linking up with his international squad.

However, a scan has confirmed that the problem is only minor and Liverpool expect him to be fit for the crunch Premier League clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford on September 12.

Belgian staff hope that if Benteke doesn’t recover in time for Thursday’s qualifier that he will be available for Sunday’s trip to Cyprus.

Benteke has scored once in four appearances for the Reds following his big money move from Aston Villa this summer.
