Bendtner close to comeback
Nicklas Bendtner should be fit enough to play a part in Denmark’s World Cup opener with Holland, according to team-mate Thomas Kahlenberg.
The 22-year-old has been been struggling with a groin injury and admitted yesterday that he’s been frustrated at having to train by himself.
Wolfsburg ace Kahlenberg, who is also injured, told Sporten.DK that Bendtner is vital for the Dane’s World Cup aspirations.
“There is no doubt that he is a very important player for us and for the way we want to play football.
I’m crossing my fingers that he returns soon. We all hope that Bendtner will be ready for the Holland match.
From what I’ve heard he is on the right track, the most important thing is he is 100 percent ready or at least fit enough to take part in the game.”
Bendtner is likely to face his Arsenal team-mate and good pal Robin van Persie on June 14th. You can see the latter scoring a superb goal against Hungary earlier by clicking here.
Many thanks to Nicklas Bendtner News for finding Kahlenberg’s quotes.
nicky b will be a star of the world cup. hes got goals, technique and everything a striker needs.

@peter:
Don’t get carried away mate….Bendtner is a good player but not a potential world cup star.
When is this worthless god knows what leaving us!?
“Star of the world cup?” Funniest thing ive heard all week.. Makes me wonder if some of you actually watch games.
I think bendtner is a good player and very important to the danish way of playing, I mean if england can take heskey then bendtner got to be better.
I know people say heskey is strong but he has the worst goal scoring record in history for a striker? (he will be top goal scorer now i have said that)
Still hope everyone enjoys the footy on show…..
@ Ricky…………………………… He contributes more to the team than arshavin, theo, vela and he is better than berbatov at Man Ure
i think rvp on current form will b da star of da world cup

now off topic:

@The Left Hand Of HENRY:
Sorry to disapoint you but id swap for berbatov anytime, anyday.. Yet he’s an out & out striker but still cant score more goals then an out of form arshavin..?
To be compared to theo walcott & vela just tells the story like it is.
