Following a goal by Red Bulls team-mate Mehdi Ballouchy in Thursday's 2-2 draw, Henry kicked the ball toward the net. The ball struck Hartman on the right knee, injuring his medial collateral ligament.

MLS's disciplinary committee said Monday the actions by the former Arsenal captain were unsporting. Henry apologised to Hartman and described it as "one of those stupid things."
