Wenger blames France for Henry woes

Arsene Wenger believes Thierry Henry was “badly managed” by France after the World Cup and maintained the Arsenal captain was now “paying the price of success”.

Henry, 29, has simply not been the same player this season, showing only flashes of his genius as the over-exertion of a gruelling 2005-2006 campaign which ended in bitter defeat to Italy in Germany returned to haunt him.
