What is wrong with Henry’s Foot? T-shirt winner

I have now read two reports that Henry has played with an injured foot during the last two weeks. But no reports say what is actually wrong, or when it happened. The Arsenal.com injury page makes no mention of it.
It is well known that Henry has carried an Achilles tendon injury for several years now, and that the only cure is rest. He was unable to score against PSV, but was that about his form – or the form of the Arsenal Team as a whole? Can you go on a turbo run against a team that packs the midfield? A goal up means that they will not have to come out at Arsenal either. A chance of a surprise run at PSV will be remote; Freddy is the more likely player to take them by surprise. I feel sorry for Henry he is under a microscope, have a poor game (by his standards) and he wants to go to Barcelona. Have a good game and it’s forgotten as soon as he has a game without scoring. The Gunners would have left Boro with nothing without him. His positioning for the goal against Man U was superb, the technique for the Blackburn goal was the best I have ever seen anywhere, and in any era. Yet fail to score and all kind of speculation is let loose. I wonder if Barca fans think Ronaldinho wants off to Arsenal? T-shirt Competition. The correct answer was Charlie Nicholas who scored 2 goals and was transferred the following January. Several suggested Perry Groves, who did have a good game and made one of the assists. The winner Phil will be notified.
Henry appears to lacks his turbo boost at the moment, and looks to be conserving energy. However he has still managed 10 goals in 17 Premiership starts, and his goal against Blackburn is one of the finest of his career. His goals have also been very crucial, scoring the last second winner against Manchester United. He also forced the issue against Boro when we were down to ten men and a goal down. Against Liverpool he ensured victory by getting a third when the Gunners were under pressure.
