Thierry Henry set for final game for Arsenal against AC Milan

Thierry Henry will play his final game for Arsenal at the San Siro tonight with manager Arsene Wenger wishing he could stay for longer.
The loan spell agreed with Henry, 34, comes to an end after tonight's Champions League last 16 first-leg tie against AC Milan and the Frenchman will return to the New York Red Bulls for the new Major League Soccer season in the United States.
Wenger said: "There was only an option. We had to get the agreement from Red Bulls and Thierry. He had to go back. We wanted to keep him for two weeks longer but it wasn't possible.
Thierry is captain of their team and they start the championship in two weeks. It is difficult for a player to come the day before the championship starts when he is captain of the club and has not played at all with the team in pre-season training.
"It was just common sense. I am OK with that because I accepted that agreement at the start."
