10 February 2012 14:56
It's been an unhappy few weeks for Nicklas Bendtner, but he seems pretty pleased with his new mask.[LNB]The Denmark striker picked up an injury after catching Angel Rangel's boot with his face, as Sunderland beat Swansea 2-0 on January 21.[LNB]It initially appeared to be a broken nose, but it turned out to be a more complicated ailment and manager Martin O'Neill bemoaned the loss of his star striker.[LNB]Fitted up: Nicklas Bendtner's new protective gear[LNB]But thanks to his new face gear, the striker could return to action sooner rather than later - albeit not against Arsenal on Saturday as he is currently on loan from the Emirates. [LNB]'I don't look near as cool as Batman', the striker admitted on Twitter. 'But at least I can play again.'[LNB]And at last, Bendtner is right. He is one of the best strikers in the world (currently wearing a face-mask).
