Henry has come under increasing pressure at the
Ligue 1 side with results not improving since he took over from Leonardo Jardim in October in his first managerial role.
The club is in the midst of a four game winless streak, and have not won in five in the league, leaving them 19th in the table and three points from safety.
This week featured a pair of disastrous results for Henry and Monaco, with the club getting routed at home, 5-1, against
Strasbourg on January 19.
While Henry apologised, a 3-1 home defeat to second-division side Metz in the Coupe de
France on Tuesday inflicted further humiliation on his side.
Henry then threatened on Thursday to leave out numerous first-team players from Monaco's weekend clash with
Dijon, claiming he would only pick players up for the relegation fight.
"You have to see. There were not too many people in training yesterday. We'll see today," Henry said in his news conference Thursday.
"It's important to see the reaction at Dijon. We are in a critical situation - unfortunately, that has not changed.
"We tightened up the group. At some point, you need guys who want to save the club, who don't think about themselves. We're sorting it out. We're going to war."
When asked which players would be left out, Henry replied: "You're going to see the team. There are too many names."
Overall, the former
Belgium assistant has managed only five wins in his 20 games in charge of Monaco and may not receive any further opportunities to improve on that number.
