Henry to miss Derby match
Theirry Henry has been ruled out of his side's Derby clash with London rivals Tottenham after suffering a setback in his recovery from a groin injury. The Frenchman, 28, returned from six weeks out in the Champions League win against Sparta Prague last week. "He will not play," said Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger. "I rushed him back under special circumstances. "But he played in Prague and against Manchester City and it was a bit too much for him." Henry was brought off the bench against Sparta Prague in the Champions League earlier this month and scored twice to beat Ian Wright's club goalscoring record. He then played 90 minutes in 1-0 win over Manchester City four days later. But Wenger confirmed on Friday that the club's top-scorer would not be fit to feature in the clash at White Hart Lane on Saturday.
Big blow for the Gunners because last week he really lifted the side after the defeat a couple of weeks back against West Brom. In the match itself, I think it could be the best chance Tottenham have had at winning th Derby match because they have a very strong and youthful side and the Gunners haven't looked very good this season.
