"I will have an examination on Tuesday and then go on to have surgery on Wednesday," Bendtner told Ekstrabladet.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger had previously indicated that the player could be out for "four weeks at least", and it is now unclear when Bendtner could be available for first-team football.
