Guardiola picks Henry for Barca squad to face Chelsea, despite knee injury

04 May 2009 19:55
Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has included striker Thierry Henry in a 21-man squad for Wednesday's Champions League semi-final second leg against Chelsea. Henry picked up a knee injury during Saturday's 6-2 Primera Division victory over Real Madrid and did not take part in training today, but the Frenchman has been named in Guardiola's squad for the trip to London. Captain Carles Puyol will also travel with his team-mates even though he is suspended, meaning injured defenders Gabriel Milito and Rafael Marquez are the only members of Barca's first-team squad not to make the journey. Young defender Alberto Botia has also been included for the tie, which is currently locked at 0-0 following the first leg at the Nou Camp.
