VIDEO: Even Thierry Henry is pointing the finger at Wenger over Alexis Sanchez’s injury

The blame game

Simon Lloyd

The injury to Alexis Sanchez’s hamstring capped a frustrating day for Arsenal as they drew 1-1 at Norwich.

Laurent Koscielny and Santi Cazorla also picked up injuries in the game, but Arsene Wenger’s decision to risk Sanchez despite being aware of a potential problem has drawn criticism from the club’s supporters.

And after the game, Gunners legend Thierry Henry also suggested that the Arsenal boss should have rested his star man.

Referring to the recent Champions League victory over Dinamo Zagreb, Henry pointed out that with the team already 3-0 up, the last 20 minutes would have been the ideal opportunity to rest the Chilean.

Another former Arsenal man, Alan Smith, also goes on to say that Wenger shouldn’t have risked Sanchez.
