Nicklas Bendtner will serve jail time after dropping appeal on assault charge

Former Arsenal and Juventus forward Nicklas Bendtner will have to serve a 50-day jail sentence after dropping his appeal against an assault conviction.
Earlier this month, Bendtner was found guilty of beating and kicking a cab driver in the Danish capital on Sept. 9. The 30-year-old Dane admitted to hitting the man, but said he had acted in self-defence after a quarrel over the fare.
Bendtner was sentenced to 50 days in prison and fined 1,500 kroner ($230).
