Thierry Henry has escaped punishment for his handball that effectively knocked out Ireland from the World Cup 2010 qualifiers.

  • Chelsea have discussed move for Alejandro Garnacho
  • Spanish star has arrived in London to complete Arsenal transfer

  • "Handling the ball cannot be regarded as a serious infringement as stipulated in the Fifa disciplinary code," said a Fifa statement.



    "There is no other legal text that would allow the committee to impose sanctions for any incidents missed by match officials."
