Bendtner faces operation

The striker limped out of Arsenal's 3-0 win over rivals Tottenham Hotspur last month with the injury, which forced him out of the 4-1 away win over Wolverhampton Wanderers as well as the Gunners' next two matches.
Bendtner had only just come back from a similar injury for the North London derby before breaking down again.


He confirmed this week he needed surgery and went under the knife at a specialist in Germany on Tuesday.

Speaking after the Spurs match, Gunners manager Arsene Wenger said: "We suspect [he will be out for] four weeks.
"Bendtner is a big blow. I played him against Tottenham because he is strong in the air.
"It gives us more variety in our games because we can lose possession, yet still win the next header with Bendtner.
"He makes us dangerous at set pieces and so we can change our game a little bit."
