FC Barcelona may have to make preparations without Henry as the Frenchman is unsure of playing.


Real Madrid may have started rejoicing rather too early, after the Los Merengues fans went up in jubilation on hearing Lionel Messi will not be part of the super squad to face the Madrid team on Sunday. Now, with Thierry Henry looking doubtful for the same tie, Madrid are in double jubilation. Thierry Henry may still be needing more time to heal from his back pain, but may yet appear on the line up against Real Madrid on December 23rd, as FC Barcelona look for presence and experience advantage against the league leaders. Barca are working round the clock to see that Thierry's back problems are solved once and for all.


Should Thierry Henry be declared fit for the El Clasico, then a twin strike pair of Henry and Eto'o smashing the unnecessarily lucky Real Madrid with a barrage of goals will be a beauty for the football world to behold.
