Sunday, November 25, 2007

Thierry Henry will sit out FC Barcelona's Matchday 5 trip to face Olympique Lyonnais after he and Oleguer Presas were left out of the squad travelling to France.

Thierry Henry will sit out FC Barcelona's Matchday 5 trip to Olympique Lyonnais after he and Oleguer Presas were left out of the travelling squad.

Ronaldinho back
Henry played a starring role for Barça on Saturday evening, teeing up Bojan Krkić for the second goal in a 3-0 victory against RC Recreativo de Huelva. Yet he and Oleguer, who replaced Gianluca Zambrotta in the 65th minute at Camp Nou, both missed this morning's training session and will not make the trip to France as Barcelona look to secure progress to the UEFA Champions League first knockout round. Frank Rijkaard will at least be able to call on Ronaldinho, who was rested against Recreativo.
