Bendtner ready to make ‘a major impact’

(GSM) – Nicklas Bendtner is ready to make his mark at Arsenal as he targets a starting spot in this weekend’s cracker against Chelsea.

The Danish striker returned from a three-month injury absence last week when he came on as a substitute during Arsenal’s match against Aston Villa. Last weekend he also came off the bench when the Gunners faced Manchester United.

“I’ve played two games because there haven’t been other strikers available, so we took a bit of a chance with my fitness,” Bendtner told The Mirror. “I was completely fit against Villa, but it’s a gradual thing so I was on the bench against United.

“I still feel progress from day to day, so I definitely thinks that I soon will be completely fit.”

Those recent results have dented Arsenal’s title hopes but Bendtner believes he is just the man to get his team back on track.

“When I get back to full strength, I’ll be able to make a major impact,” he said.

“We have different types of striker who can do different things, and I think the team has missed a type like me.

“We didn’t get going against Manchester United but now we get another chance on Sunday (against Chelsea) which we must take 100 per cent.

“We’ve still got a chance if we win that match. If not? Well, then it’s hard to say how it will develop.”
