Henry could miss 1st leg of Champions League Semi-final. Henry missed Mondays training due to illness. A fever has put the former Gunner in doubt for Wednesdays long anticipated Champions League clash between United and Barca. Only time will tell whether Henry will be fit for the 1st leg, set to take place at the Nou Camp. Also, Brazilian defensive midfielder, Jose Edmilson, will most likely miss Wednesdays match due to a back strain.

Carlos Puyol, Barcelona’s equivalent to Rio Ferdinand, will definitely miss the 1st leg as he serves his one match suspension.

Last year Ronaldinho would have been indispensable. If Ronaldinho missed a match or did not perform well, you could count Barcelona out. This season most Barca fans are glad to see the former FIFA world player of the year was left out of Rijkaard’s equation, due to “injury”.
