Arsenal, 11:08, December 30, 2009 ,
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Nicklas Bendtner has suffered a setback and is facing another three weeks on the sidelines.
The Denmark international has been on the sidelines after undergoing a hernia operation in October but he should have been back in the first team by now had everything gone to plan.
However Wenger says his rehabilitation has not gone smoothly and he looks set to be out of action for another three weeks.
"He had hernia surgery and should be back already," Wenger revealed. "But he had a groin problem as well and the groin problem looks to last longer, so they say to me three weeks."
