Arsène Wenger has hailed Thierry Henry's return from injury, but said that his captain was still not back to his brilliant best, despite brilliant performances against Charlton and Liverpool.

Wenger said: "It was a great goal, a great run and he is getting his legs back.

"Thierry can score like that and the fact that he has worked very hard recently meant he could do it over the last 10 minutes.

"I think his recent break will benefit him. You need to play this kind of game, to suffer as a front player, and you need to be fit mentally.

"We were in the final of the Champions League, he was in the World Cup finals and players are not machines.

"Sometimes you need to be fresh."
