Croatia Striker Eduardo Suffers Horrific Ankle Injury but Prognoses Better than Initially Thought
Zagreb, February 23 (CP) – Arsenal striker and member of the Croatian national team Eduardo da Silva suffered a sickening ankle injury during a clash with Birmingham City’s Martin Taylor in the 3rd minute of the Premier League game.
The Brazilian-born Croatian international’s injury was so grave that no replays of the incident were shown on TV.
Eduardo was rushed to hospital and immediately operated on.
He will be wearing a cast for the next six weeks, which is much better than initially thought but will be most probably out as far as Croatia’s Euro 2008 challenge in the summer goes.
The Croatian squad manager Slaven Bilic said he was saddened by the event and said that at this point the most important thing was for Eduardo to recover and whether this will be before Euro 2008 or after was beside the point.
