(Reuters) - Crystal Palace striker Christian Benteke is recovering well from a knee ligament injury and is confident of returning to first-team action for the Premier League club in November, the Belgium international has said.

Benteke, Palace's top scorer last season, sustained the injury in last month's defeat to league leaders Manchester City and has missed the Eagles' last two games, including their first win of the campaign against champions Chelsea.
