Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner looks set to miss the start of the Premier League season after failing to recover from a persistent groin injury - and he has no idea when when he will be fully fit.Uncertain about the future: Nicklas Bendtner's groin injury has not cleared upThe 22-year-old missed around half of last season with the injury despite undergoing surgery eight months ago and even failed to make Denmark's opening World Cup games as a result.And although he has rested completely since Denmark were eliminated from the tournament two weeks ago, Bendtner fears he is losing the battle to make the Arsenal line-up for the trip to Liverpool in five weeks' time and will need a scan to assess the extent of the damage.He admitted: 'I still feel quite bad in my groin. Sadly it hasn'tbeen better during my holiday, like I expected it to giving it nothingbut rest.'And that worries me a lot. I had hoped and counted onthat a total break from football and training would heal the injury butit hasn't happened.'I have spoken to Arsenal throughout the holiday and I am having a big scan when I return this week. 'My whole body must be scanned to find out where the groin problem really comes from.'I still feel pain and it is very frustrating. I don't know where I am in relation to playing football.'
