Arsenal striker Eduardo has targeted a return to action before the end of the year as his long road to recovery gathers pace.
The 25-year-old has been sidelined since suffering an horrific broken leg at Birmingham in February - which proved to be the pivotal moment in a season which slowly unravelled for the Gunners.
Although the Brazil-born Croatia forward was ruled out of Euro 2008 as a result, a spell of rehabilitation back in South America proved time well spent as his recovery has moved on quickly.
Eduardo - signed by Arsenal from Dinamo Zagreb in July 2007 - hopes a competitive return is now within sight.
"My leg is getting better all the time and I hope to be back playing again by Christmas," Eduardo told Setanta Sports.
"It has been a long road to recovery, and there is still a lot of hard work left to do, but everything is going well and I should be back playing again soon."
