Technorati Profile
Arsene Wenger is confident Arsenal will again see the best of injured captain Thierry Henry next season.
The Gunners stirker is set to spend the rest of the current campaign on the sidelines following injuries to his groin and stomach muscles suffered in Wednesday night's Champions League clash against PSV Eindhoven.
Wenger admitted before the match that his gamble on the fitness of the brilliant French forward could backfire badly following the best part of two weeks out.
And so it proved as Henry limped off at the final whistle, as the Gunners' European dreams faded into the night along with him.
