Henry set for cup breather

Thierry Henry is set to be rested from this weekend’s FA Cup third-round tie against Cardiff – even though the Arsenal captain is ready to play on to revive his team’s fortunes.

Arsene Wenger revealed that Henry and Campbell are set to be given a breather during the next week, with Arsenal taking on Cardiff at Highbury on Saturday followed by Wigan in the Carling Cup semi-final first leg three days later.
