LONDON: Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner will miss today’s Champions League tie against Olympiakos Piraeus after he was involved in a car accident.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, speaking at a press conference yesterday, revealed Denmark international Bendtner suffered a minor crash on Sunday.
“Nicklas did not practice because he had a car accident on Sunday,” Wenger said.
“Fortunately there was no real long-term damage, but he was bruised and we thought it better he did not train. He should be back for Sunday’s game (against Blackburn).”
Wenger will also be without Brazilian midfielder Denilson, who faces up to two months on the sidelines with a fracture to his back.
The Brazilian picked up the injury in the Gunners’ 4-2 defeat at Manchester City on Sept 12 and scans revealed the severity of the problem.
Goalkeeper Manuel Almunia is still troubled by a chest infection and young Italian Vito Mannone will continue in his place. — AFP
