Barcelona striker Thierry Henry is doubtful for
the Champions League final due to an anterior cruciate ligament
strain in his right knee.
The 31-year-old suffered the injury during last Saturday's
6-2 Primera Division win at Real Madrid, forcing him to miss the
midweek 1-1 draw at Chelsea which booked Barca's date with holders
Manchester United in Rome on May 27.
A statement on Barcelona's official website read: "Thierry Henry
will not play in the Copa del Rey final and he is facing a fitness
race to be able to appear in the Champions League final in
Rome.
"The French international suffered a blow to his right knee
during the game against Real Madrid and meant that he was unable to
play against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in midweek.
"According to club medics, Henry has suffered an anterior
cruciate ligament strain in his right knee and is undergoing
specific treatment to try and ensure that he can play in Rome
against Manchester United."
As well as the Copa del Rey final against Athletic Bilbao next
Wednesday, the former Arsenal frontman will miss La Liga games
against Villarreal, Real Mallorca and Osasuna.
