Dad: Arsenal's Bendtner badly shaken

The father of Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner admits the young Dane was shaken by his car accident.

Bendtner suffered grazes to one of his knees and pain in his shoulder following the accident on Sunday morning, which resulted in his car being written off.

Bendtner was unable to train properly on Monday and he has been ruled out of Tuesday's Champions League tie against Olympiakos.

His father and agent Thomas revealed the 21-year-old was "badly shaken" by the crash and acknowledged he was fortunate there was not a more serious consequence to the accident.

"Nicklas has been training by himself on a bike in order to be careful and watch out," Thomas Bendtner told Sporten.dk.

"He is badly shaken and has some bruises, but knows he was very lucky."
