Wenger rules out Henry

Manager Arsene Wenger says Arsenal great Thierry Henry is not set for another loan spell at the club.

The 36-year-old, who is Arsenal’s all-time record goalscorer, has been using the facilities at their London Colney training ground in the past week, as has former midfielder Robert Pires.

And Henry, who now plays with the New York Red Bulls, spent a successful loan stint with Arsenal at the start of 2012, scoring the winner in an FA Cup tie against Leeds and then bagging a stoppage-time goal to secure a victory over Sunderland on his final appearance.

However, Wenger says an encore is not in the pipeline and added that Henry and Pires do not even train with the first team very often.

Wenger told the Arsenal website, “They like to come back to Arsenal, to practise.”
