Injured Arsenal captain Thierry Henry has insisted he will stay with the club 'for life'.
Henry was ruled out for the rest of the season after he aggravated groin and
stomach muscle injuries in the Champions League defeat to PSV Eindhoven and it
had been suggested he could have played his last game for the Gunners.
But the French striker has dismissed those reports and pledged himself to
Arsenal for the remainder of his career.
He told
The Sun: 'People in France and some over here (England) are still
saying I am going to leave.
'I am not going to leave. Never. I am staying here for life.
'I have no intention of walking out on this club, whatever the situation is.
At no stage this season have I ever thought about leaving. I love the club, I
love the fans and I am 100% behind the boss.'
Henry also revealed that he believes his injury problems - and the dip in form
experienced by other top players in the aftermath last summer's World Cup - is
down to too much football.
'This injury isn't down to my age. It's the number of games played that
causes injury. Look at (Franck) Ribery, (Claude) Makelele, (William) Gallas,
(Patrick) Viera, they are all injured.
'Even Ronaldinho is dead. Same for Deco. Or (Steven) Gerrard. This is not the
great and the real Gerrard (this season). The players doing well now are those
who played less last season.'
