Nicklas Bendtner did not feature in Wolfsburg's 1-1 draw with Schalke having been late for training on Friday.
Wolfsburg's sporting director has confirmed Nicklas Bendtner was dropped for Sunday's clash with Schalke due to being late for training.
The former Arsenal man has made 16 Bundesliga appearances for Dieter Hecking's side since his move from the Premier League - scoring just once in the German top flight. However, the Denmark international was left out of the 1-1 draw at the Volkswagen Arena.
After suggestions Bendtner could have been injured, sporting director Klaus Allofs revealed the striker had instead been late for training on Friday.
