Weakened side for Champions Leauge

A severely weakened Arsenal side prepare to take on (possibly) Dynamo Zagreb next week, in a tie that could decide whether Arsenal land a potential £50 million jackpot.

The Gunners will be missing their main marksman Thierry Henry, together with industrious winger Freddie Ljungberg and goalkeeper Jens Lehmann.

New number 6 Philippe Senderos will also miss out, and recovering left-back Gaël Clichy might not be able to deputise for a departing Ashley Cole.

Henry has been given extra time off by the club, following France's exploits in the Germany, and will only return for training today.

A week is not enough to condition Henry for a competitive match, and boss Arsène Wenger will not be taking any risks with his star striker.

Wenger said: "He comes back on August 2, so it is very short until August 9."
