Wenger fears departure of Henry

ARSENE WENGER cannot banish fears over Thierry Henry's future amid the striker's reluctance to hold contract talks until next summer.

However, Wenger still believes Henry, who revealed his debt of gratitude to the Arsenal boss, can be persuaded his long-term future lies with the north London club.

Henry's achievement in setting a new club scoring mark with his two goals against Sparta Prague will be celebrated when former record-holder Ian Wright congratulates him on the pitch before today's game against Manchester City.
