Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says its too soon to talk about a coaching role for Thierry Henry.

Henry has been linked with Pat Rice's role as assistant manager.

Wenger insists he has not ­considered any future coaching role for Henry at Arsenal.

The Arsenal chief said: "Let him play as long as he can - there is plenty of time to coach."

He added: "You only have to look at the physical state I am in now to see that!"
