Arsenal breathe sigh of relief as Bendtner cleared of serious damage

Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner is not seriously injured and could still play for Denmark this weekend.

The 23-year old hurt his ankle at national team training yesterday morning and initial fears were that he would be out for at least a week.

But it has since been reported that the Gunners man only sustained a minor ankle sprain and is a chance to take on Norway in Oslo in Euro2012 qualifying on Saturday.

It would be music to the ears of Arsene Wenger who is hoping he can regain a close to full-strength line-up for the next Premier League outing - a vital clash against Blackburn Rovers at the Emirates on April 2.
