Henry, who signed a new contract last summer, has struggled with a sciatic nerve problem all season.

Manager Arsene Wenger said: "We are confident that he will be ready for the start of next season."

A big blow for Arsenal, but it will allow the likes of Aliadiare(sp?) and Baptista to come into the first team and get a good run of games together and show us what they've got. Had Arsenal been still in the FA Cup and Champions League then this would have been a major blow. But I think it could be a belssing in disguse.

We need Van Persie back quickly now as Ali and Baps wont score too many and i cant see Ade getting over 20 goals in the league. Henry is our only 20+ goal a season striker, so i hope he recovers for next season. Van Persie and Ade will hit double figures every year barring injuries. But I dont see Ali, Baps or Theo getting double figures unfortunatly. Bendtner is unknown in the prem and if given a good run i think he could match RVP and Ade. Vela is another unknown altho he is banging them in in Spain, but, so was Reyes.
