After not having played a single minute in a third consecutive match, Barcelona's Thierry Henry appears to no longer fit into Barca coach Pep Guardiola's plans and will reportedly leave the Blaugrana at the end of the season.

Henry has seen 13 players in the squad earn more playing time than him and will seek another team in the approaching summer transfer window, according to a report by Marca. The Frenchman has scored twice this season and has chalked up  910 minutes of play during the entirety of the current campaign, during which he has also struggled with injuries.

Despite the immense respect Guardiola holds for Henry, the Blaugrana coach has slowly limited Henry's minutes, opting intstead for youngsters like Pedro Rodriguez and Bojan Krkic in lieu of the Frenchman. A few days ago, Guardiola insisted that he still counts on his French striker, but this season has been something of a struggle for the former Arsenal talisman.
