The Danish footballing authority has banned the forward
from the national team for half a year, after he was stopped by the police for
violating traffic rules last weekend
The Danish Football Association (DBU) has suspended
on-loan Juventus striker Nicklas Bendtner from the national side for six months
over a drink-driving offence.
Bendtner was stopped by authorities for driving on the
wrong side of the road on the night of March 2, while allegedly under the
influence of alcohol, and the country's footballing authority has now issued a
statement regarding the future of the attacker.
"Based on Nicklas Bendtner's traffic offence on
Saturday night, which affected his public image in a negative way, DBU informed
him that we take a clear distance from his breach of the Highway Code Section
53rd," read a statement on the organisation's official website.
"The Football Association expects that he spends the
next six months on these considerations, and DBU then will be happy to take a
dialogue with him about how he may in the future see himself positively
contributing to the binding community around the first team."
Bendtner has appeared 55 times for his country to date,
scoring 22 goals.
