Henry set for bench duty

Striker Thierry Henry is set to be left out of Arsenal’s starting line-up for tomorrow’s FA Cup fourth round tie at home to Middlesbrough.

With Henry expected to be on the bench, Dennis Bergkamp is poised to return from a five-game injury absence – but Sylvain Wiltord and Jeremie Aliadiere are still ruled out and Kanu is away on African Nations’ Cup duty.
