Thierry Henry has admitted he is devastated to have been ruled out for the remainder of the season, but is positive he will return to his best next term.
The France star has been plagued by niggling injury problems since the summer, but made a return to action for Arsenal in midweek.
His appearance from the bench against PSV Eindhoven proved to be a false dawn, however, as he damaged groin and stomach muscles and the club have revealed he will be sidelined for three months.
Henry has revealed the scan results left him feeling very low, but he is determined to find his best form once again for Arsenal.
"I am obviously devastated," he told The Sun. "I will miss the rest of the season. It is a tough end to what has been a difficult season for me. It has been very frustrating.
"But I hope to get back to full fitness soon and will then look forward to having a great season with Arsenal next year.
"This setback will make me even more determined, yet it has certainly been one thing after another."
Henry feels he is paying the price for not having a proper break after a lengthy previous campaign.
He added: "Last season was a very long one for me, right up to the Champions League final and then the World Cup final with France.
"I only had a few weeks' break and then the Premiership started.
"First of all, there was the sciatic nerve problem, which kept me out for a while. Then, most recently of all, the foot injury. Now these injuries against PSV."
