More anguish in store for Henry

-

– Winless in 15 matches and coming off the club’s heaviest European home defeat, it could well get worse for Thierry Henry and Monaco this weekend with the visit of runaway Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain.

Monaco’s flickering Champions League knockout hopes fizzled out completely with a “shameful” 4-0 defeat by Club Brugge in midweek, leaving Henry still chasing his first victory as manager since taking over from the axed Leonardo Jardim.

The odds are massively stacked against his injury-depleted side ending that wait tomorrow. Monaco have lost their last seven meetings with PSG – including a 7-1 thrashing in the last league clash in April.

Meanwhile, PSG are off to a record-setting start with 12 successive wins, the best-ever start to any of Europe’s big five leagues. –
