Nicklas Bendtner Sentenced to 50 Days in Jail For Assault

Ex-Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner has been sentenced to 50 days in jail in Denmark for assaulting a taxi driver.

The ruling was made by the City Court of Copenhagen, but the Denmark international's solicitor said the 30-year-old has appealed.

He played for Arsenal between 2005 and 2014, scoring 45 goals in 171 games.

Now at Norwegian side Rosenborg, Bendtner missed out on a place in Denmark's squad for the 2018 World Cup because of injury.
