Henry doubtful for Liverpool clash

Eindhoven (Netherlands), November 25
   
Thierry Henry is doubtful for Arsenal's Premiership clash with Liverpool on Sunday after aggravating a lingering achilles tendon problem in the stormy Champions League draw with PSV Eindhoven.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger revealed after the match that both Henry and Jose Antonio Reyes (knee) had been doubtful starters for the match.

His decision to risk Henry was vindicated when the Frenchman scored a stunning equaliser to keep Arsenal fully in control of their destiny in the competition.

But it came at a cost.

"Thierry cannot walk walk very well at the moment and we will have to wait until Friday or Saturday to know who will play at Liverpool," Wenger said.

Arsenal are also likely to be without Robin van Persie, who was stretchered off with a knee injury.

Wenger said: "With van Persie we don't know yet if it is a kick or a twist. My feeling is that it was a kick, so I'm quite optimistic but we will not know for 24 hours."

The way its going the match will have to be  played in a hospital ward

[Ciggy]

Wonder if I can get a job at the hospital lookin after Garcia and baros then    

[dawson99]

i heard reyes was injured as well
this could be a class match on sunday as the midfield will have to fight it out, and that should be class

[Sean]

I'm sure you'd look good in a nurses uniform Lyndsey !

[XSD]

Henry never gets injured. I bet he makes a miraculous recovery.

[dawson99]

he was limping pretty badly after the game, so u never know

[Paul C]

I'm sure you'd look good in a nurses uniform Lyndsey !

Or without the uniform

to be perfectly honest, i couldn't give a monkey's who plays for arsenal. the fact of the matter is, we have enough problems of our own at the moment. our squad, certainly in an attacking sense, is down to it's bear bones. to me neil mellor must play on sunday because we need an outlet to play the ball upto. the lad needs to be given a chance.

a team something along these lines wouldn't be bad imo.

-----------Kirkland
Finnan--Carra--Hyypia--Traore
---Gerrard--Alonso--Biscan----
Kewell-------------------Riise
------------Mellor

it's a massive game for both sides. i'm just worried as to where our goals are gonna come from at the moment.

[parchpea]

With or without Henry Arsenal are a formidable prospect for us right now. Its not as if they are short on quality. You only have to look at the way their reserves dismantled an in form Everton team. At the moment I doubt we could do the same with our first 11. It will be hard work whoever turns out.

[Paul C]

I'm sick and f**kin tired of people saying give Mellor a chance, he is cr3p and will score 1 in 20 chances, I'd like to see what his goals per mins played ratio is

[dawson99]

gotta give pongolle a go i say

[Paul C]

Yeah I'd Pongolle with someone just off him, I have a feeling were gonna sit deep and just hit them on the break so we need pace and decent support.

[stmichael]

to me, one answer would be to give gerrard a more advanced role and a licence to roam about the pitch.

[JBG]

Great to see you back Michael.
