Toure Boosted By Henry Return

Following the defeat at the weekend against West Bromwich Albion, this is just the sort of boost that the team needed. With Wenger questioning the decision to sell Vieira in the summer the return of one of Arsenal’s most influencial players bodes well.

The injury list still makes unpleasant reading for the Sparta Prgaue match though.

Sol Campbell, Ashley Cole, FReddie Ljungberg and Alexander Hleb are injured and Bergkamp as you would expect hasn’t travelled as he doesn’t fly.

Although Henry will not start the match he is almost certain to appear in the second half. Gilberto is set to return and captain the side after exhaustion following international duty and van Persie is fit after injury.
