Bendtner Injury Not As Bad As Feared

Last updated : 12 October 2006 By Brian Cartlidge

The Blues striker was injured whilst appearing as a second half substitute in Denmark's Euro 2008 qualifier with Northern Ireland last weekend and scans have revealed just a tear in his medial ligament.

"Thankfully after checks, we found he's not done anything too serious," Bruce told the Birmingham Mail.

"I expect him to be there or thereabouts maybe for the Norwich game, or possibly Derby a week on Saturday."
