Arsenal forward Thierry Henry will miss the rest of the Premiership season because of injuries.
The Frenchman, who recently returned to action following a foot injury, hurt his groin and stomach muscles during Arsenal's match against Dutch side PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League.

"Thierry Henry will be out for a minimum of three months," Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said Friday.
"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."
Henry's injury also spells bad news for the French national team as he will be unavailable to play in France's next three qualifying games for Euro 2008.
Les Bleus are scheduled to take on Lithuania on March 24 and face Ukraine on June 2 and Georgia on June 6 at home.
France sits second in Group B, trailing leaders Scotland on goal difference and two points ahead of Italy. Ukraine is three points behind the French but have a game in hand. The top two teams in the group qualify for the tournament in Austria and Switzerland.
Henry scored 27 goals in the Premiership last season and was voted player of the year in England. He has 12 goals this season.
With Henry out, Arsenal's goal-scoring burden will now fall on Togo striker Emmanuel Adebayor. Arsenal can also call on Brazilian Julio Baptista, Frenchman Jeremie Aliadiere and English teenager Theo Walcott.
Dutchman Robin van Persie, Henry's original forward partner this season, has been sidelined since January with a broken bone in his foot and could be out for another two months.
