London : Arsenal are learning to live without Thierry Henry. The English Premier League club may not give any player the number 14 shirt worn by the Frenchman, writes the club's official website.
The striker moved to Barcelona in Spain last month and although Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has bought Croatian Eduardo Da Silva from Dinamo Zagreb to supplement his attack, no player has been given the number 14 shirt.
Retiring his shirt has been the buzz at the Emirates Stadium since his departure to mark his contribution to the club, in the same way AC Milan of Italy plan to honour Paolo Maldini when he stops playing.
Henry's attachment to 14 stretches to his charity work outside football, and he has launched the 'THe One 4 Foundation' supporting projects against racism and social inequality.
Theo Walcott, tipped to lead the Arsenal attack in place of Henry, was given number 32 for the new season, with Eduardo given number 9, the website said.
