Arsenal’s record goal scorer
Thierry Henry was named on the bench for his highly anticipated
return against Leeds United in the FA Cup third round at the
Emirates stadium on Monday.
Henry, 34, who plays for Major League Soccer club New York
Red Bulls, made 370 appearances for Arsenal from 1999 to 2007
and scored 226 goals.
The MLS club agreed to loan the former France forward, who
won the 1998 World Cup and 2000 European championship, until the
end of February before the new season starts in March.
Arsenal announced the short-term loan deal on Friday with
Henry saying manager Arsene Wenger had asked him to help during
the absence of Gervinho and Marouane Chamakh at the African
Nations Cup.
