Wenger - say sorry to Henry
Mark Bradley and Michael Walker
Arsène Wenger has called on Spain's coach Luis Aragonés to apologise to Thierry Henry for his alleged racial slur, as the Arsenal manager condemned the comment as "out of order".
Wenger was concerned to hear that Aragonés was recorded on Spanish television using racist language in urging José Antonio Reyes to match the achievements of "that black shit", a reference to Reyes's Arsenal team-mate Henry.
Aragonés, who made the comment in a Spanish training session last week, has since insisted he is not a racist, although he has yet to make a personal apology to the France striker.
Wenger said: "I found his sentence completely out of order and completely non-motivational for Reyes. I don't think he has any professional excuse.
"He is not known, I must say, in Spain to be a racist coach at all, though. That is to his credit, while he has also offered to apologise to Thierry, which I also find right.
"But Thierry has not yet had an apology, I think. Aragonés should apologise - just to clear the air and ensure there is no suspicion left. He has to take that further step."

阿森・温格要求西班牙队主教练路易斯・阿拉贡内斯为他带有种族歧视性的语言，向蒂耶里・亨利道歉。这位阿森纳主帅指责对方的言辞荒谬透顶。
西班牙电视台的录像显示，阿拉贡内斯在鼓励何塞・安东尼奥・雷耶斯赶超其阿森纳队友蒂耶里・亨利时，使用了种族歧视性的语言，称亨利为“那个臭黑鬼”，这让温格非常关注。
阿拉贡内斯是在上周西班牙队的训练课上说出这番话的。之后，他虽然坚持称自己不是种族主义者，但至今仍没有以个人身份向这位法国前锋道歉。
温格表示：“我发现他的话荒谬透顶，而且对雷耶斯没有任何的积极作用。我不认为他有任何可以推脱的借口。我必须要说，也许在西班牙人们知道他并不是一个种族主义者，但是向蒂耶里道歉对他有好处，我也认为这样做是对的。”
“但是，至今为止应该还没有任何人向蒂耶里道歉。我觉得阿拉贡内斯应该这样做，这样才能消除疑虑，澄清误会。他必须有更进一步的行动。”
