Thierry Henry has withdrawn from the France squad to play England on Wednesday night.

Henry played the full 90 minutes of Barcelona's 4-1 defeat of Real Valladolid on Sunday but pulled out of the Les Bleus party for the match against Fabio Capello's men due to an unspecified injury.

Henry's absence means David Trezeguet could get a rare start after being called up as a replacement for the injured Karim Benzema

His absence means David Trezeguet could get a rare start after being called up as a replacement for the injured Karim Benzema.

Trezeguet could get an opportunity to convince France coach Raymond Domenech he deserves to make the trip to the Euro 2008 finals .

The Juventus marksman had ruled out his chances of playing the tournament in Austria and Switzerland in June after again being left out by Domenech.
