Intro:

Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert says forward Christian Benteke is taking part in full training after rupturing his achilles five months ago. The Villans host Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English), Paul Lambert (on return of Christian Benteke to full training):

"It's massive, it's massive for himself. He has trained all week, no adverse reaction or anything like that. But he has got to work like everybody else to try and get back in the side. That's the nature of the game and Gabby [Agbonlahor] is playing great, Andi [Weimann] is playing great. The front lads have been on form, so he has got to work really hard and get himself fully fit."

SOUNDBITE: (English), Paul Lambert (on his new four year deal):

"I love being here -- it's an absolutely fantastic club, I've always said that, it is a great club with great facilities, got a great fan base. Everything is there for it."

SOUNDBITE: (English), Paul Lambert (on Arsenal game):

"It'll be great. I think 40-odd thousand in there which is going to create again a great atmosphere. It is up to us to go and try and win -- which, as I said before, I know how hard it is going to be. We are up against a really top side, great players and no matter what they say I know they got beaten last night but they are still going to be there or thereabouts in this league."
