Bendtner: I should play every game for Gunners

The Danish international has continually found himself benched in favour of strike-partners Robin van Persie and Emmanuel Adebayor this season.

But with the Togolese target man sidelined with a hamstring injury, and Croatian Eduardo only recently returning to full fitness, Bendtner believes he should now be top Gunner at the Emirates Stadium.

"I'm very sorry to see Adebayor injured as we need him fit and to be playing in the league," he told the Mirror. "But it does not really matter to me who is fit and available.

"I should start every game, I should be playing every minute of every match and always be in the team."
