The Danish Football Federation suspended striker Nicklas Bendtner from international soccer for six months after he was arrested for drunk driving, it announced on Monday.

The 25-year-old, who is currently on loan at Juventus from Arsenal, was taken to a police station after being caught driving the wrong way down a street in downtown Copenhagen in the early hours of Sunday morning.

"The DBU have demanded that Nicklas Bendtner take six months off to think over his international future," read a federation statement.
