Thierry Henry says his best is yet to come.


FC Barcelona star man, Thierry Henry has spoken out on his form and fitness, predicting his eventual return to full form will be complete in about two months time, by which time his muscular therapy and healing would have been complete. The French man sustained an injury while at Arsenal FC, an injury which has been prolonged and lasted for longer than expected, keeping the goal merchant out of the merchandise in goal scoring, a trade Henry is well familiar with and an expert by world class standard. On his current form, Henry says:

I still feel like I am playing on just one leg. I need to work to build the muscles on my left. I am lucky to have full support from the Barcelona staff, which is fantastic. I had not played for six months, so before coming back usually you need two months of hard work. I joined up with the Barcelona side immediately, and I had not played previously since March. So I believe it will take two months for me to get back to my best, I think this is a reasonable amount of time.


Speaking about his position and the effect its having on his game, the former Arsenal striker, who started out on the left wing when he first arrived North London, but was converted to a central striker by Arsenal's coach Arsene Wenger says:

I am playing as a left winger, sometimes in the centre and sometimes on the right. I am having to adapt. After eight years in the centre it is not always easy. But at first I will try to regain my comfort on the pitch.


Perhaps Henry's first official goal for Barca against Lyon in the Champions League is a first sign that the adaptation is progressing well.
