Latest News on Eduardo’s Injury
The Club can confirm that following the incident during Saturday’s match at Birmingham City, Eduardo has fractured his left fibula and sustained an open dislocation of his ankle joint in the same leg.
He was immediately taken to Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham where he underwent surgery on Saturday evening. The operation was successful and Eduardo was transferred to a London-based hospital on Sunday afternoon.
Earlier today (Monday 25th February), the Orthopaedic surgeon and Arsenal medical staff assessed the extent of the damage and possible time scale for a full recovery.
All being well, Eduardo will have his leg in plaster and using crutches for the next six to eight weeks. After that time, partial weight-bearing exercises will be scheduled into a slow rehabilitation process.
It is hoped that Eduardo will be running again in six months time and making a full recovery after nine months.
Eduardo will be released from hospital in a few days.
The Arsenal medical team would like to take this opportunity to thank Birmingham City FC for their assistance on the day as well as the surgical and ward staff on S2 at Selly Oak Hospital for their expert medical care.
In addition, and on behalf of Eduardo, the Club would like to thank everyone for their many touching messages of support.

Orangees FC vs Cz’s fren 2 : 0
2 : 0 
a good and fair game played by both teams ending with orangees fc winning by 2 goals to nil.
With goals from awyong and desmond. =)
Anw lol i was only involve in the first half as a center back and 5mins in the 2nd half upfront. Guess i played badly but manage to make afew important targets so i suppose it wasnt that bad =)
well done Orangees FC
Speechless
Speechless and fume with regards to arsenal’s match which ended 2-2.
94min penalty for birmingham and poor finishing of both Arsenal’s strikers.
I wouldnt blame clichy for his loss of concentration but it was simply outrageous at this point of the game.
Indeed i would imagine how sad and angry gallas would be. Unable to revenge for his teammate and losing 2pts.
With A 5 pt lead and now down to 3pt if Manchester United manage to win their game.
And with eduardo out of the team due to a freak challenge by martin taylor during the 2nd min on his left ankle. I don’t see any blend of partnership from bendnter with any of the Arsenal’s players.
Devastated. yes indeed.
