It seems that Nicklas Bendtner has reinjured his groin injury that caused him to miss so many games last seasons and he is now a doubt for the start of the season.
“I have spoken to Arsenal throughout the holiday and I am having a big scan when I return this week. My whole body must be scanned to find out where the groin problem really comes from. I still feel pain and it is very frustrating.”
Bendtner was able to play through the pain at the World Cup where he started all three games for Denmark, scoring once.
“I still feel quite bad in my groin,” he told the Mirror newspaper. “Sadly it hasn’t been better during my holiday like I expected it to be, giving it nothing but rest, and that worries me a lot. I had hoped, and counted on, that a total break from football and training would heal the injury but it hasn’t happened. I don’t know where I am in relation to playing football. It doesn’t feel good at all – some mornings I can hardly get out of bed. It is not the best way to return to Arsenal like this, but the club and I have to get to the bottom of my problem now.”

Here we bloody go again – injuries before the season even starts. Pity he didn’t injure his big mouth!
