Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists Thierry Henry and Robin van Persie can play together.

Wenger had rested captain Robin van Persie for tonight's tie, allowing the Dutchman some time away on a family break to Dubai.

The Gunners boss could throw both the dynamic front men together when the Barclays Premier League campaign resumes at Swansea on Sunday.

"Thierry can play behind or in front of Robin or on the flank, Robin can play on the flank too, but I don't know yet what I will do. They can play together, of course, and they did play together," said Wenger.
