"Eduardo has given his account of the terrible events at Birmingham City on Saturday. The Croatian, 25 on Monday, broke his leg following a challenge from Blues defender Martin Taylor in the third minute of the game at St Andrews. He was taken to hospital and underwent surgery that night. The striker has since returned to a London-based hospital for further treatment. Speaking for the first time after the incident, the summer signing from Dinamo Zagreb ruled himself out of the rest of the season and Euro 2008 in the summer however he added that he is 'determined to overcome this injury'. “I don't remember the incident very well and it is not something that I want to see again on television or in the newspapers," said Eduardo. "All I remember is that when I fell, I looked down at my foot and it had turned the other way. The rest is just a blank. It was an unfortunate situation but these things can happen in football. "But I'm not worried about that. My concentration and determination is on making as quick a recovery as possible. I am determined to overcome this injury.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY EDUARDO!! Get well soon, we all are behind you 110% all here in South East Asia! We hope to see you back on the pitch aight!
No, no not first words as in, ever. By first words I mean since his horrific, terrifying injury.Eduardo - I am determined to overcome this injury
“I am unsure at the moment of the extent of the injury and how long I will be out of action for but I know that I won't be able to play for Arsenal for the rest of the season or be ready in time for the Euros this summer.
“I would like to thank the medical team here at Arsenal for their efforts as well as the staff at Selly Oak Hospital who carried out the operation on Saturday night. Everyone there made me feel as comfortable as possible.
Heard that guys, he'll be back, with a vengeance, he'll wreck havoc in your penalty areas with his ice cool nerves and his touch of midas. He'll hit you before you even realise, a la Man City. Fear his return. For he is Dudu!
