Denmark coach Morten Olsen has washed his hands of Nicklas Bendtner's latest controversy, insisting it is for Arsenal to discipline the striker if they see fit.
Bendtner has been accused of threatening and abusing a taxi driver on Wednesday in his native Denmark, with the incident taking place in the capital Copenhagen.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is thought to be aware of the incident and club action is likely to be taken.
And for Olsen, that is exactly how it should be.

The veteran tactician said via the Danish FA's official site: "Nicklas is an Arsenal player. Therefore his behaviour is primarily a matter between him and Arsenal.
"I've talked to Nicklas and found out what has been going on, and therefore there is no intention that it should result in anything for Nicklas from outside."
Olsen, in fact, is more concerned with what Bendtner does on the pitch than off it, adding: "My expectations for Nicklas are in the sporting realm, and as I said after the game [against England] at Wembley, I expect that he will find a club where he can play football.
"Outside the national team, Nicklas is an Arsenal player. Therefore, Nicklas' actions in his spare time are a matter for them."
