The Frenchman, who played for both clubs, has told the holders that nullifying the German should see them progress comfortably in the Champions League
Arsenal will be "practically dead" if Barcelona can nulify Mesut Ozil in Tuesday's Champions League clash, according to Thierry Henry.
The German has enjoyed an outstanding season, leading the Premier League assists charts on the way to potentially breaking Henry's record of 20 in a season, and was rested against Hull City in the FA Cup.
Wenger has confirmed Ozil will return for the last-16 first-leg match and Henry, who represented both clubs during his playing career, believes the former Real Madrid man is vital to Arsenal's hopes of an upset.
"Ozil is incredible, he has a ton of assists," he told Barca's official website. "He is playing very, very, very well, as he used to at Madrid. After two very difficult seasons he's doing very well.
"If you can stop Ozil, Arsenal are practically dead."
