Arsenal ace Wilshere: I was upset not playing with Henry

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere says the one regret from last season's enforced injury absence was not playing with Thierry Henry.

The New York Red Bulls striker's return next month is still to be rubberstamped.

Wilshere told the Official Arsenal Magazine: "There were a few moments [it was hard to miss out on]. When Thierry (Henry) came back in January, for example.

"He's a legend and I really wanted to play in the same team as him.

"I also would have loved to play in that north London derby in February.

"When I look back now, though, I could probably have done with a break, having played so much the previous season."
