The striker is definitely out for Saturday's game in Montreal, but there's hope he could be back for March 30's match-up with the Union.

Not that you didn't know already, but Thierry Henry isn't going to be playing this Saturday against the Montreal Impact.

According to a tweet MLSsoccer.com's Franco Panzio, an MRI revealed Henry sprained his MCL. Henry came off late Saturday against D.C. United, with reports citing a knee injury that "does not appear serious."

That he won't play against l'Impact is hardly surprising. Even though Montreal put new turf down -- last year's surface at the Olympic Stadium appeared to be squares of turf laid out -- the man never plays on turf, save the carpet at Portland's Jeld-Wen Field.

Panzio's tweet does suggest he could be back for the March 30 game against the Philadelphia Union.

Good thing the Red Bulls signed trialist and former Paris Saint-Germain forward Peguy Luyindula this morning...
