Well, here we go with the first injury for Thierry Henry in what could be a long season.

The Red Bulls captain was waiting the results of a scan after he suffered a calf injury in training with Arsenal on Tuesday.

Henry, who is on loan for two months with the English Premier League club, had hamstring and Achilles problems with the Red Bulls in 2011.

According to The Express, the 34-year-old Henry was "desperately hoping the problem was not serious."

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger had hoped that Henry might be match fit to start against Manchester United in a home game on Sunday, but that could very well be in jeopardy.
