France veteran Thierry Henry insists he will accept a supporting act role at this summer’s World Cup.
Reports have claimed that 32-year-old striker was told by coach Raymond Domenech that he would only be selected in the 23-man squad if he accepted being used as a substitute.
Despite not confirming the reports, Henry insists “no-one is above the team.”
Henry told L’Equipe: “As I’ve often said, the most important thing is the team. I try to come on and to give something, give some movement when I’m called on.
“We’re not here to know who will play and who won’t play. No-one is above the team, we’re all in this to go as far as we can together.”
Les Bleus are 20/1 with SkyBet, Betfred, StanJames, Ladbrokes and Coral to win the World Cup this summer.
