Wolfsburg slams Bendtner laziness, but forgives Draxler

The cases of Julian Draxler and Nicklas Bendtner doing extra fitness work for Wolfsburg cannot be compared, says Klaus Allofs.

Wolfsburg sporting director Klaus Allofs has accused Nicklas Bendtner of not "doing his homework" during the mid-season break, but has defended Julian Draxler over a similar lack of fitness.

Draxler, who joined from Schalke in the close season, and Bendtner were made to do additional running work after Allofs stated the duo failed to follow a set program during the Bundesliga's hiatus.

However, Allofs stated that Draxler must be allowed some leniency due to it being his first campaign with Wolfsburg, but was less than impressed with Bendtner's attitude.
