Henry may be risked

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger insists Thierry Henry is fit enough to start in the Champions League last 16 second leg clash against PSV Eindhoven after the Gunners captain came through a training session unscathed.
The 29-year-old Frenchman had not played since last month's first leg encounter against the Dutch side because of a foot problem.
"He can start, if I decide to start him," confirmed Wenger.
"There is no risk for his health, but it is just it could get worse again after the game and that you then start from scratch."
Emmanuel Eboue (ankle), Philippe Senderos (hamstring), Tomas Rosicky (groin), Mathieu Flamini (foot) and Justin Hoyte (hamstring) all remain sidelined but Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure are available despite their domestic suspension.
Meanwhile, Adebayor's appeal against an FA charge of "reacting aggressively and failing to leave the field of play immediately" after being sent off in the Carling Cup final defeat to Chelsea, has been postponed until Friday.
The Togo international has requested a personal hearing, which was initially scheduled for Tuesday.
