Uefa president Michel Platini has
rejected claims from Arsene Wenger that France's management were to
blame for Thierry Henry's problems.
The Arsenal striker has seen his season ended prematurely due to
stomach and groin muscle injuries.
Wenger suggested an international friendly against Bosnia in August
played a major part in his captain's demise.
The Gunners boss said: "I feel he has been badly managed after the
World Cup by the French football team.
"After the World Cup final, I gave him a holiday until August 4.
Then he came back, we prepared him, I left him out of the Champions
League qualifier in Zagreb, they called him up for the game on
August 16 - less than 14 days after he came back - and they played
him in the whole game against Bosnia. It was a friendly.
"After he had played in the World Cup final - why do they need to
play him in the whole game?"
However, Platini is baffled by Wenger's comments, insisting
accountability for Henry's injuries cannot be placed on
France.
"I cannot understand that he is injured because he played a game in
August," said Platini.
"I cannot understand why Thierry Henry is injured in March because
he played a game in Bosnia in August.
"I am not a physiotherapist but I cannot understand how he can be
injured from a game six months ago."
