Arsenal boss Wenger: Nobody expects the Henry of ten years ago

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger hopes fans don't expect too much from loan signing Thierry Henry.

Gunners legend, 34, is likely to get his first outing against Leeds in the FA Cup on Monday week.

Arsenal boss Wenger said: "Nobody expects him to be what he was 10 years ago - we just want him to help out.

"I think it is credit to him to want to help a club that has given him so much. Therefore I feel there is no pressure to be the player he was before.

"You can never take away from people what they have done, that will remain for ever.

"The same with Thierry. It's just that we need a short-term solution.

"You do not find players of this quality who are available for two months."
