The Danish striker is pushing for a return to the starting line-up after two substitute appearances following a lengthy lay-off.[LNB]Bendtner has been out for almost four months after undergoing groin surgery, but he is ready to make an impact in the title run-in.[LNB]The 22-year-old believes he has been missed by Arsenal as he feels he offers something different to Arsene Wenger's side.[LNB]"When I get back to full strength, I'll be able to make a major impact," Bendtner told the Daily Mirror.[LNB]"We have different types of striker who can do different things, and I think the team has missed a type like me."[LNB]Bendtner admits Arsenal struggled against Manchester United last time out and he knows they cannot afford to slip up against leaders Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this Sunday.[LNB]"We didn't get going against Manchester United but now we get another chance on Sunday which we must take 100 per cent," added Bendtner.[LNB]"We've still got a chance if we win that match. If not? Well, then it's hard to say how it will develop."[LNB]The Danish international admits he took a gamble with his fitness, but he is confident he is over his injury problems which have blighted his campaign to date.[LNB]"I've played two games because there haven't been other strikers available, so we took a bit of a chance with my fitness," noted Bendtner.[LNB]"I still feel progress from day to day, so I definitely thinks that I soon will be completely fit.[LNB]"I do feel pain at certain moves and I also feel sore the day after. The groin will get better, and right now it's about finding the right balance regarding training and matches.[LNB]"Now there are only four months to the World Cup. The season has gone quickly but the most important thing is that I'm back."[LNB][LNB]
