Sunderland loanee Bendtner to have further treatment on facial injury

Sunderland's Nicklas Bendtner will undergo further treatment on a fractured nose sustained in Saturday's 2-0 win over Swansea City.

The Danish striker, on loan from Arsenal, was caught in the face by Angel Rangel's boot inside the opening 15 minutes of the Stadium of Light clash and had to be substituted.

The head of the Black Cats medical department, Dr Glen Rae, said that Bendtner will now have treatment to correct the injury.

"The results of the scans have been received and Nicklas will now undergo further treatment," Rae told the club's official website.

"Sunderland Royal Hospital provided a first-class response and I would like to thank them for their assistance."
