The 29-year-old will be sidelined for up to three months after damaging stomach and groin muscles during Arsenal's 1-1 draw with PSV Eindhoven in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.

"I am obviously devastated," Henry told The Sun on Saturday.

"I will miss the rest of the season. It is a tough end to what has been a difficult season for me. It has been very frustrating."

Henry said he is determined to be back in action and restore his form in order to be ready for next season.

"I hope to get back to full fitness soon and will then look forward to having a great season with Arsenal next year," he said.

"This setback will make me even more determined, yet it has certainly been one thing after another."

The pacey goal-getter blamed a long and tiring season for his injuries and lack of fitness.

"Last season was a very long one for me, right up to the Champions League final and then the World Cup final with France," he explained.

"I only had a few weeks' break and then the Premiership started," Henry added.
