‘Upset’ Bendtner refutes misleading reports

NICKLAS BENDTNER has denied saying he should play “every minute of every game” for Arsenal no matter who is fit.

“I’ve never said anything like what they put in the newspapers,” he claimed yesterday after helping Arsenal through to the fifth round of the FA Cup. “And it makes me upset because it comes across really bad.

“None of it was said like that. Basically I did a long interview for the Danish press recently, they asked me a lot of questions and the press over here have taken my answers and twisted them out of proportion.
