Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger could be set to hand forward Nicklas Bendter a return to side for their opening Champions League against Udinese, according to The Mirror.

The Danish striker had appeared to be on his way out of the club this summer but a move has yet to materialise.

With Robin van Persie suspended and there being doubts over Marouane Chamakh, Wenger could – according to the report – include Bendtner in Tuesday's game against the Italian side.

Wenger has previously admitted that if the right offer for both Bendtner and the club was to come in, he would not stand in the Dane's way.

"I promised I'd let him go if he found the right club and that hasn't changed. When I make a promise, I keep it," Wenger told reporters.

However, Wenger has also claimed that Bendtner may have a future at the club and he would be happy to see him remain.

"But if he doesn't find the right opportunity, he'll stay and fight for his place like everybody else. He looks sharp in training."
