The Danish international is understood to have sustained cuts to his knee and pains in his shoulder after he was involved in an accident as he was driving his Aston Martin to training at the weekend. With his striker unable to complete a full training session, Arsene Wenger confirmed Bendtner will not feature in Arsenal's Champions League clash against Olympiakos tonight.

"He trained by himself on Monday on a bike in order to be careful and watch out," Thomas Bendtner said. "He is badly shaken and has some bruises but knows he was very lucky." Bendtner is expected to be back in action this weekend for Arsenal's Premier League trip to Blackburn. Aside from Bendtner, Wenger goes into tonight's match without Brazilian midfielder Denilson, who faces up to two months on the sidelines with a fracture to his back and goalkeeper Manuel Almunia, who is still troubled by the chest infection.
