The Frenchman is still suffering from the back injury that saw him ruled out for the last six weeks and he played through the pain against Mallorca, Marca claim.
It is a story which is at odds with the two main reports in the Catalan dailies that believe that Henry is back to his best after overcoming his physical problems.
According to Marca, Henry will be unable to play two games a week as he will continue to need medical treatment to help ease the pain in his lower back.
Despite that, Barcelona will ask him to appear in league matches while Eto'o is away as they could be left short of attacking options with Leo Messi also out and Ronaldinho yet to return to his best.
In Catalunya, both Sport and El Mundo Deportivo believe that Henry is fit and have claimed that the former Arsenal star's moment to shine has arrived.
After being signed last summer for €24m, Henry has yet to reproduce the incredible form that made him one of the world's best players, but now the stage is his.
Rijkaard will play him in the central role, from where he will be able to switch to the flanks, and will be expected to lead the front line in the league, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League.
