Arsenal great Henry named in MLS All-Star Fans XI

Thierry Henry has been named in the MLS All-Stars Fans XI for 2013.

The New York Red Bulls star was selected in a starting ten, with another forward still to be named, by MLS supporters for the All-Star clash with Italian club AS Roma at Sporting Park on July 31.

The Fan XI received the most votes in their respective positions from combined fan voting via an online vote at MLSsoccer.com, text message and via Twitter.

The 11th player, who will be a forward, will be decided on July 11, as part of the innovative AT&T MLS All-Star 'In the Game' Challenge. Among the remaining forwards on the ballot, the player with whom fans score the most goals in FIFA Soccer 13, with one goal equaling one vote, from July 3-July 10 will be named to the Fan XI. MLS All-Star coach Peter Vermes will select the roster based on player availability and tactical considerations.
