Henry to miss European kick-off

ARSENAL captain Thierry Henry will miss the first leg of the Champions League qualifier on August 8/9 because of a lack of fitness.

Boss Arsene Wenger feels the tie is too soon for the striker, who has missed pre-season training after playing for France in the World Cup final.

Arsenal are likely to face Dinamo Zagreb, who lead Ekranas 4-1 after their first-leg match.
