Thierry Henry has had his say on how Arsenal should handle Alexis Sanchez after he limped out of Sunday's draw with Norwich.
Before the game, Henry spoke about the importance of keeping players fresh and indicated he would have liked to have seen Arsene Wenger take Sanchez off when they were 3-0 up against Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday night.
The Chile international has played 1,107 minutes in the Premier League this season - more than any other forward at a Champions League club - and has appeared regularly for Chile in their World Cup qualification campaign.
"He plays for Chile, travels 14 hours there and back and plays every game," Henry told Super Sunday.
"Even when the game is won sometimes he will still go and put some pressure on teams and that's why I mentioned it at the beginning of the game.
After the match, Wenger confirmed that Laurent Koscielny, who was substituted in the first half, and Santi Cazorla had also picked up injuries.
Before the match Sanchez had insisted he was fit to play and Henry admitted he has sympathy for the Arsenal boss because he has a tough situation to manage.
"I can feel for Arsene in a way," he added. "You are playing for the title and you come here [to Norwich] and you need to win.
