Henry back for Gunners

LONDON – Thierry Henry is set to return from injury for Arsenal’s crucial Champions League clash against PSV Eindhoven tonight.

Henry has missed Arsenal’s last three matches with foot and hamstring injuries, but the French striker completed a full training session on Tuesday and manager Arsene Wenger is ready to play him in a match that will define his side’s season. Arsenal trail 1-0 from the first leg in the Netherlands two weeks ago and failure to overturn that deficit would end the London club’s hopes of winning a trophy this term.Wenger insists he has yet to decide whether Henry will be in his starting line-up, but the Gunners captain is certain to play a significant role at the Emirates Stadium.Wenger said: “Thierry can start, if I decide to start him.There is no risk for his health, but it is just it could get worse again after the game and that you then start from scratch.”He brings the capacity to make the difference.When you know that you want to score goals tomorrow, a player like that is vital.”Henry’s return is a huge boost for Wenger, who is already without Philippe Senderos (hamstring), Emmanuel Eboue (ankle), Tomas Rosicky (groin), Mathieu Flamini (foot) and Justin Hoyte (hamstring).Nampa-AFPArsenal trail 1-0 from the first leg in the Netherlands two weeks ago and failure to overturn that deficit would end the London club’s hopes of winning a trophy this term.Wenger insists he has yet to decide whether Henry will be in his starting line-up, but the Gunners captain is certain to play a significant role at the Emirates Stadium.Wenger said: “Thierry can start, if I decide to start him.There is no risk for his health, but it is just it could get worse again after the game and that you then start from scratch.”He brings the capacity to make the difference.When you know that you want to score goals tomorrow, a player like that is vital.”Henry’s return is a huge boost for Wenger, who is already without Philippe Senderos (hamstring), Emmanuel Eboue (ankle), Tomas Rosicky (groin), Mathieu Flamini (foot) and Justin Hoyte (hamstring).Nampa-AFP
