Thierry Henry furious at two Arsenal stars after Bayern defeat – ‘He’s not even in the frame!’

Thierry Henry has blamed two Arsenal players for their defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Thursday.

Having drawn 2-2 at the Emirates, the Gunners limped out of the Champions League at the Allianz Arena, with a Joshua Kimmich header in the second half the difference between the two sides.

I invite you to look at Tomiyasu

The Germany international powered the ball home under no pressure from a Raphael Guerreiro cross, and Jamie Carragher pointed the finger of blame at Gabriel Martinelli for failing to track the runner.

But Henry claimed was just as much at fault for the goal, insisting the Japan international was too focused on Leroy Sane, who had no hope of scoring.

Henry, who seemed really angry, said on CBS Sports: Jamie, can I play…

Arsenal ‘open’ to summer sale for two reasons with Gunners on ‘pole’ for £51m signing

According to reports, Arsenal would be open to selling Brazil international Gabriel Jesus during this summer s transfer window.

The Gunners paid around £45m to sign Jesus from Premier League rivals Man City during the 2022 summer transfer window.

At the time, this was viewed as a coup but Jesus has been seriously impacted by injuries over the past two seasons.

Jesus has also been wasteful in front of goal as he has slipped behind summer signing Kai Havertz in the pecking order.
