Santos has been nursing an ankle injury he picked up in December, and wont be available to play for the Gunners tonight against AC Milan, in what will be Henry"s last game for the club.

"Today [Tuesday] we were playing about in the changing room. I told him I would stay here at Arsenal, but I wouldn"t get to play with him. He regretted it, because he wanted to do a ‘one, two" (pass) with a Brazilian. But there will be opportunities in the future," Santos told Globoesporte.

In Henry"s two month loan spell at Arsenal, he has made six appearances, scoring three times.

"The passage was a really important moment, he"s given the team a bit of a lift. Besides being a great athlete, and a star at Arsenal, he showed us during this time why he is so fundamental to the team.

"He is already an excellent person, with whom I was able to share some time with when he was in the treatment room because of a calf problem. We talk a lot and he loves to listen to some Brazilian music, he likes a lot of samba, Brazilian people and everything else.

"He played with Daniel Alves at Barcelona, and Júlio Batista at Arsenal. He is a big fan of the Brazilians and he said he would like get to know Brazil better.
