Henry praises stand-ins after absence

Thierry Henry may be back to lead Arsenal in their FA Cup tie at Liverpool tomorrow, but the Gunners skipper is all too aware a lot of hard work has been put in without him.

The Frenchman returned from a seven-match injury lay-off because of a sciatic nerve problem to set his side on their way to a 4-0 victory over Charlton on January 2, which moved them back up to fourth in the Barclays Premiership.
