Coach Arsene Wenger confirmed that center-back Sol Campbell will not play the first six weeks of the English championship due to an Achilles heel injury sustained during Euro 2004.

"It is a huge loss for us, but there are already more reassuring news about , who may be ready for the first Premier League matches," Wenger told the "Sunday Express" newspaper.

Henry also has problems with his Achilles heel.

Campbell will likely miss the first two World Cup qualifying matches. On September 4, England plays away against Austria, and on September 8 against Poland."
