Bendtner: We will win the title for Aaron

(GSM) – Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner has vowed to win the Premier League title for injured midfielder Aaron Ramsey.

The Gunners moved to within three points of league leaders Chelsea but their victory over Stoke City was overshadowed by the horrific injury sustained by Ramsey.

The 19-year-old midfielder sustained fractures to the tibia and fibula in his right leg following a tackle from Ryan Shawcross.

Bendter admitted he was shocked by the extent of the injury and accused Shawcross of being ‘out of control’ with the tackle.

Ramsey will be at the sidelines for at least six months and Bendter insists everyone in the Arsenal squad is determined to win the championship for the young Welshman.

“To be honest, I don’t care about my goal and the win. Aaron is one of my best friends and all my thoughts go to him. It is a totally horrifying injury,” Bendtner told BT.dk.

“I was standing right next to Aaron, when it happened, and immediately there was no doubt at all, that he broke his leg. It was a terrible, totally mad tackle from Ryan Shawcross, and he is really smashing hard into Aaron.

“I don’t believe that anybody would try to intentionally to make an injury on another player, a fellow professional, but the way he is going into the tackle is out of control, and that doesn’t belong anywhere.

“As far as I saw on the pitch, all the players from both teams were shocked, and so was I, because everyone could see how awful it was. Thomas (Sorensen) came up to me, and we were both really shocked.

“Afterwards we were told that Aaron will be out for at least six to nine months, and I feel that it is just so sad for him. Aaron is so young.

“I think about how bad I felt when I was out for three months with my groin injury and this is just so much worse for Aaron.

“But now we will go and win the title for Aaron.”
