Thierry Henry has admitted he is
devastated to have been ruled out for the remainder of the season,
but is positive he will return to his best next term.
The France star has been plagued by niggling injury problems since
the summer, but made a return to action for Arsenal in
midweek.
His appearance from the bench against PSV Eindhoven proved to be a
false dawn, however, as he damaged groin and stomach muscles and
the club have revealed he will be sidelined for three months.
Henry has revealed the scan results left him feeling very low, but
he is determined to find his best form once again for
Arsenal.
"I am obviously devastated," he told The Sun. "I will miss the rest
of the season. It is a tough end to what has been a difficult
season for me. It has been very frustrating.
"But I hope to get back to full fitness soon and will then look
forward to having a great season with Arsenal next year.
"This setback will make me even more determined, yet it has
certainly been one thing after another."
Henry feels he is paying the price for not having a proper break
after a lengthy previous campaign.
He added: "Last season was a very long one for me, right up to the
Champions League final and then the World Cup final with
France.
"I only had a few weeks' break and then the Premiership
started.
"First of all, there was the sciatic nerve problem, which kept me
out for a while. Then, most recently of all, the foot injury. Now
these injuries against PSV."
