JAILED: Nicklas Bendtner was today sentenced

Bendter, 30, has been sentenced for 50 days for the attack on the Copenhagen cab driver.

It follows his arrest in September.

The striker, who currently plays for Norweigan side Rosenborg, has appealed the sentence and has been released until a hearing at a higher court.

He has been convicted of breaking the jaw of the victim after a night out in the Danish capital.

Bendtner had refused to pay his £4.30 fare before the attack.

After the refusal he then punched the driver before kicking him.

In the days after the incident, Bendter said: "I was involved in an extremely unfortunate episode.

"I could not imagine it would develop as it did, and of course I'm extremely sad that the outcome became as unfortunate as it did.

"To Rosenborg fans and audiences, I regret that this has happened.

"I’m sorry with all my heart that we are standing here today.
