Sherwood insists Aston Villa onus not all on Benteke

Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood has made it clear that his is not a one-man team.

?Sherwood was discussing the possible return of Christian Benteke for this weekend's trip to Sunderland after he missed the FA Cup quarter-final win over West Bromwich Albion with a hip injury.

?"We're not always looking for one guy. It's a team effort, we have to attack together and defend together," said Sherwood.

?"There is no onus on one person to score the goals.

?"I don't think Christian feels the pressure, it doesn't look like it. All I need to know is when he'll be back fit and he's got an opportunity to be fit for this weekend."?
