Henry could miss FA Cup final

April 22, 2005 21:16 IST

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is not sure whether injured striker Thierry Henry will be fit for next month's FA Cup final against Manchester United.

Wenger said he is hoping to know more from the results of a scan which Henry, the club's main goalscorer, was having on a groin injury on Friday.

Asked if the France forward would be fit to face United at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wenger told Sky Sports News: "I don't know yet. It's impossible to say today."

Speaking separately to reporters at Arsenal's training ground, Wenger said: "Thierry is definitely out for the next two games and how long he will be out for in total I do not know.

"He won't be out for three months, but it might be three or four weeks and the final is on May 21 which is not far away."

Henry missed Arsenal's 3-0 FA Cup semi-final victory over Blackburn Rovers last weekend, and the 0-0 draw at Premier League leaders Chelsea on Wednesday.
