The German club have excluded the Dane, who has netted twice in the Bundesliga this season, from training duties and are expected to determine his future in the coming days
Nicklas Bendtner looks set to leave Wolfsburg after being told by the club he no longer needs to attend first-team training.
The former Arsenal striker has struggled to settle since joining in 2014 and has faced a number of disciplinary problems this season, including fines for being late to training.
Bendtner also landed himself in hot water after posting a photo on social media of his Mercedes, which angered the hierarchy of the club as they are sponsored by Volkswagen.
The Denmark international, who had been training alone in recent weeks, has now been exempted from training with the rest of the squad and sporting director Klaus Allofs expects a decision on his future to be made imminently.
"The current situation is unsatisfactory for all involved and cannot be allowed to become a permanent status," he told the club's official website. "For that reason, we got together again on Wednesday and held discussions along with his agent in search of a solution.
Allofs also told Bild: "We have decided that he does not have to come in for now. The fact that he has been training on his own recently was not something we wanted to carry on."
Bendtner has made 19 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring four times.
