Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits Nicklas Bendtner is frustrated.
Wenger went with Yaya Sanogo ahead of the Dane for their FA Cup win over Liverpool.
He said: "Yes of course [he is disappointed not to be in the squad]. He works very hard, very well, but I wanted to give a chance to Sanogo, and I think overall the performance of Sanogo justified it. Bendtner is fit at the moment, and sharp."
