Arsene Wenger confirmed that Thierry Henry is a doubt for the FA Cup final as he warned
Chelsea not to take their Premiership triumph for granted at
Bolton this weekend.
Arsenal's 1-0 victory at home to
Tottenham on Monday night ensured that the Blues were unable to celebrate their first title for 50 years.
Jose Mourinho's side will instead have to win at
Bolton on Saturday to make sure of success, even though they require just two points from their final four games.
Arsenal's best chance of silverware is therefore still the FA Cup, with Henry already struggling to be fit for their final encounter with
Manchester United due to a groin injury.
Wenger, who was rather more hopeful about Henry's fitness last Friday, revealed a scan had at least shown no serious long-term problems.
However, when asked if the striker is a doubt for the final, he simply admitted: "Yes."
Wenger, who is also still without Freddie Ljungberg, added: "Their scans were positive and they have both made progress but they are still in pain. They will slowly try to get back to training on Wednesday and see what progress we can make. Both are out for next Monday anyway."
Arsenal can only hope the title is still alive for next Monday's game at West Brom, given that
Chelsea face
Bolton two days earlier.
However, Wenger insisted: "
Chelsea have not won at
Bolton yet. I think it'll be very difficult for them there.
"They have a
Champions League game against
Liverpool on Wednesday night so it won't be easy.
Bolton are a difficult side to play and can beat anyone on their day.
"We have the pride of (defending) champions and real champions fight for as long as there is the slightest chance, whereas other people give up."
