Recent reports had suggested that Guardiola was ready to bypass Henry in favor of Pedro as the young Spaniard has been amongst the goals so far this season, where his French team-mate has not, but the coach is 100 per cent behind the former Arsenal captain.
"Henry will shut many mouths. He is a player on another level," Guardiola insisted at a press conference.
Although the 32-year-old has not been firing on all cylinders so far this term, the Barca coach is confident that Henry will deliver for the Blaugrana when it really matters saying he expects to see the best of Henry "in that the key moment of the season" and has no intention of replacing him with Pedro.
"Pedro has a lot to learn to reach the level of Henry. He has done everything in football, has given us a lot and we have given to him," Guardiola remarked.
Henry received the all-clear from Camp Nou medical staff on Friday and is fit for selection against Osasuna in Pamplona on Saturday night.
