WATCHING BRIEF ... Thierry Henry
ARSENAL have been forced to ditch plans to play Thierry Henry today.
Boss Arsene Wenger wanted Henry to feature in a Premier Reserve League match with Sunderland this afternoon in a bid to improve his match fitness.
But the Gunners and Henry's representatives have still yet to receive paperwork from New York Red Bulls regarding the two-month loan agreement.
So Henry, 34, is set to make his debut from the bench against Leeds in the FA Cup third round at the Emirates on Monday.
There are no other reserve fixtures scheduled before then. The Frenchman's last match action was for New York on November 3.
Leeds are struggling to find a centre-back pairing to keep out Henry and his team-mates.
Patrick Kisnorbo joined Alex Bruce, Leigh Bromby and Tom Lees on the treatment table on Monday.
Kisnorbo is nursing a badly bruised knee following a crunching tackle with Burnley's Jay Rodriguez.
But midfielder Danny Pugh has turned his loan deal into a £500,000 permanent switch from Stoke.
