Yeah, that's great news, but how long till he can play again I wonder? Did they say anything about his prospects? I guess it's about how well it heals...

Arsenal said on Monday that they hoped Eduardo would make a full recovery from his injury after nine months.

Yeah, that is positive news and I am sure it's based on the operation and progress thus far going according to plan. :)

There is obviously still a long road ahead for him.

You have to feel for Liverpool supporters... it's tough being behind for so long, but I have to say in their favour - those who still support them are no fairweather supporters... kudos

Agreed. Much like the Newcastle supporters. :D They pack their stadium every time they play, just waiting for Keegan's first win of his current spell as their manager.

This is excellent news - nine months is cool, next season then, that's great! I guess they are including full recovery time including general fitness... awesome for him!

How Arsenal physio Lewin saved Eduardo

Arsenal physio Gary Lewin has been credited with saving Eduardo da Silva's career after the striker suffered a broken leg against Birmingham City on Saturday.

As the Evening Standard reports, Lewin quickly realised that the next 45 minutes would be vital in his bid to save Eduardo's career and so he adressed the communication barrier as Eduardo had started speaking in his native tongue of Portuguese.

The Arsenal physio immediately radioed to the bench to ask for substitute Gilberto's help as a translator. The Brazilian's task was to explain to Eduardo what Lewin was going to do next and how he should signal with his hand if he felt new pain.

Lewin then gave Eduardo oxygen and 'laughing gas' to relieve the immense pain before a vacuum splint could be applied to the forward's left leg.

Once Eduardo was delicately stretchered off and taken to hospital, the club's medical staff liaised with doctors and advocated an immediate operation. Lewin knew that any delay could seriously jeopardize Eduardo's health as he ran the risk of infection because his bone had gone through his skin.

The operation re-set the broken bones and the dislocated ankle, with small screws being used to repair the ruptured medial ligament.
