Reyes must rise to Cup challenge

ARSENE WENGER has challenged Jose Antonio Reyes to rise to the challenge of replacing Thierry Henry in today’s FA Cup semi-final after the Frenchman faced a spell on the sidelines.

Henry is definitely out of the lunchtime clash with Blackburn in Cardiff with a groin injury and is also likely to miss Wednesday’s clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

But while Lauren warned Reyes that he must cope with the physical side of the English game, Wenger believes this chance could help to convince the unsettled Spaniard that his future lies in England.
