Wilmots says Benteke 'full of doubt' with Euro 2016 looming

Marc Wilmots has talked up the strength of striking options available to him as Christian Benteke struggles to find form ahead of Euro 2016.

Christian Benteke's below-par maiden campaign at Liverpool could cost him a spot at Euro 2016 after Belgium boss Marc Wilmots claimed the striker is "full of doubt."

Benteke is Liverpool's second highest scorer this season, but his return of eight goals in 33 games has done little to repay the reported 32.5 million pounds ($46.5 million) spent to bring him to Anfield from Aston Villa.

His compatriot Romelu Lukaku is joint second in the Premier League's scoring charts with 18 strikes to his name, while only Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani have scored more than Marseille striker Michy Batshuayi's 13 Ligue 1 goals this term.
