Bendtner was ineffective in Friday's start against Coventry City, ultimately leaving the game at the 71-minute mark.

Bendtner missed the target on both of his attempts and as usual, looked a beat slower than his mates. When the Gunners return to Premier League play, Bendtner isn't likely to play much.

Bendtner (ankle) is in the starting XI for Friday's FA Cup match against Coventry City.

Bendtner has been out since injuring his ankle back on New Year's Day, but makes his return against a Coventry side that should be well overmatched by the Gunners' firepower. Bendtner remains quite limited in most fantasy formats, as Olivier Giroud continues to get the starts in Premier League play.

Bendtner (ankle) has trained this week and is expected to play in Friday's FA Cup match against Coventry, the Daily Star reports.

Bendtner was playing well for the Gunners before he went down with his ankle injury on New Year's Day and was expected to miss four-to-six weeks. He will beat that timetable, although his Premier League fantasy value remains limited with a healthy Olivier Giroud and Lukas Podolski.

Bendtner (ankle), who is out for Saturday's match against Fulham, may be able to return for Arsenal's FA Cup match against Coventry City on January 24, although he is more likely to return for their next Premier League match, which comes January 28 against Southampton.

Bendtner suffered his injury while scoring a goal against Cardiff City back on New Year's Day and he was expected to miss a few weeks, which he already has. Even when he does return to fitness, he isn't likely to get much playing time as long as Olivier Giroud is fit.

Bendtner will be sidelined for the next four-to-six weeks due to damaged ligaments in his right ankle, Goal.com reports.

Bendtner has seen some additional playing time recently due to Olivier Giroud's ankle injury, but now Arsenal will have to heavily rely on Lukas Podolski and Theo Walcott to spearhead the attack. Bendtner isn't a great fantasy play when the other options are healthy, which could be the case when he returns to fitness.

Bendtner injured his ankle while scoring for Arsenal during Wednesday's 2-0 win over Cardiff City, Goal.com reports. Manager Arsene Wenger said that "it looks like it is not a question of days but weeks with a sprained ankle."

Bendtner seemed headed for additional time on the pitch after Olivier Giroud was ruled out with an ankle injury, but this only pushes Bendtner further from that. Lukas Podolski will likely start up front when Giroud sits, although Bendtner's fantasy value wasn't great to begin with.

Bendtner's goal in the 88th minute sparked Arsenal to a late-arriving 2-0 victory over Cardiff City on Wednesday. Alas, he also suffered a lower-body injury on the play.

Bendtner didn't make any mistake on a rebound conversion at the right post, but he appeared to strain a calf muscle on the play. The dinged-up Gunners don't need additional injuries, albeit Bendtner is nowhere near the regular rotation when the roster is whole.
