Coach Klaus Allofs confirmed that Bendtner has been given a “punishment” as a result of the post.
“It was carelessness,” Allofs told reporters.
Bendtner, who was left out of Wolfsburg’s squad for their 3-2 Champions League victory against Gent, was recently the subject of interest from Chinese clubs, his manager added.
“I can confirm that there were a few bids from China on Nicklas Bendtner in the Bundesliga winter break,” said Allofs.
“But none of the inquiries were official enough that we so much as contemplated a transfer.”
