Fellow, international player, embracing Henry (4)
I believe the answer is:
chap
'fellow' is the definition.
(both can mean a man)
'international player embracing henry' is the wordplay.
'international player' becomes 'cap' (a player who has earned international caps).
'embracing' indicates putting letters inside.
'henry' becomes 'H' (symbol for the unit of electrical inductance).
'cap' going around 'h' is 'CHAP'.
(Other definitions for chap that I've seen before include "Fellow; sore skin area" , "Cracked patch (of skin) - gentleman" , "(Of skin) become sore" , "cove" , "Man; (of skin) turn sore" .)
