In the English Premier League, London club currently occupying the fourth place announced that in the upcoming Carling Cup final next week, they plan to play without their team leader and captain.
"Thierry will not be included in the squad, as it wouldn't be fair to play with big name players in the final," said the team's head coach Arsene Wenger to British newspapers on Saturday. "I will rely on the players who have competed in all matches of this tournament. Thierry Henry knew from the start that he would not be included in this match."
The specialist from France used less experienced players in Carling Cup matches this season, with whom he managed to reach the final. On February 25th, at the "Cardiff" stadium, "Arsenal" will clash with the two-time English champions "Chelsea."
The 29-year-old French national team striker T. Henry had suffered a few injuries at the beginning of this season, but despite everything, he scored goals in important matches and helped the team snatch victories. In the English Premier League, the Frenchman has beaten opponents' goalkeepers 10 times.
