Thierry Henry will not play again this season as groin and stomach muscle injuries have ruled him out for three months.

The Arsenal and France striker picked up the injuries in Wednesday's 1-1 draw with PSV Eindhoven which saw the Gunners crash out of the Champions League.

Arsenal hope to have Henry back to full fitness for the start of the 2007 / 08 campaign, manager Arsene Wenger said:

"Unfortunately this means he will now miss the rest of this season both domestically and internationally, but we are confident that he will be ready for the start of next season."

Meanwhile, Emmanuel Adebayor has been given an additional one-match ban and fined £7,500 by the Football Association after being found guilty of "reacting aggressively and failing to leave the field of play immediately" in the Carling Cup final.

Adebayor was red carded for his part in the brawl which marred Chelsea's 2-1 win over Arsenal at the Millennium Stadium and was given a three-match ban.
