Barcelona’s France international Thierry Henry has reportedly recovered from injury and is getting ready for the World Cup 2010 qualifier against Romania with redoubled effort, as Les Bleus badly need a win, while Henry would doubtless love to return in the elite group of top forwards in the FTBL ranking.

Henry, who has an overall FTBL rating of 158.87 points at the moment, will have a plank of 11.06 rating points to beat, and a win, coupled with a goal, could send him back in the elite of the FTBL World Ranking of forwards.

Henry’s partners in the France team, Chelsea’s Nicolas Anelka (170.78 points) and Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema (158.45 points), will have a slightly higher plank of approximately 17 rating points.

France badly need a win, as they still rank second in the group behind leaders Serbia, who have 18 points so far, to France’s 13.
