Nicklas ended his loan spell at Sunderland, making one appearance against Fulham during the month.
April
Nicklas made four appearances, scoring his eighth Premier League goal of the season in Sunderland's 2-2 draw with Bolton.
March
Nicklas hit top form for Sunderland in March, firing four goals in his five Premier League matches. He kicked off the month with a penalty in the Tyne-Wear derby before adding goals against Liverpool, QPR and Manchester City. "I've not thought about his future at all," said Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill. "I've not mentioned it to him, there's no point in putting pressure on anyone at the moment. He's played very well and may think that with that type of performance he's still capable of breaking into Arsenal's squad."
February
Nicklas continued his rehabilitation from facial injuries, and made his comeback as a second-half substitute in Sunderland's 4-0 defeat to West Brom at the end of the month.
January
Nicklas played four times for Sunderland as Martin O'Neill's side continued in a good vein of form, but he suffered facial injuries against Swansea on January 21. "He's got a bit more than a broken nose. It's difficult to put a timescale on it, but it's going to be lengthy," O'Neill said.
