Eduardo suffers horror break
-
Arsenal striker Eduardo da Silva suffered an horrific broken leg in the opening minutes of the Premier League clash with Birmingham.
The Croatia international was challenged by Birmingham's Martin Taylor in the third minute of the game at St Andrews with the centre-back being shown an immediate red card by referee Mike Dean.
Eduardo's clearly distressed team-mates immediately signalled to the sidelines that urgent attention was required and the game was held up for seven minutes as he received treatment on the field.
The injury was deemed to be so serious that replays of the incident were not shown on television.
Photographs of the challenge and the immediate aftermath suggest the injury is similar to the break suffered by Manchester United forward Alan Smith during their FA Cup defeat at Liverpool in 2006.
Eduardo is now facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines and is certain to miss the remainder of this campaign and Croatia's Euro 2008 challenge in the summer.
After being stretchered off the field, he was immediately taken to hospital for further treatment.
The Brazil-born striker moved to Emirates Stadium from Dinamo Zagreb last summer and had scored 12 goals in his first 30 appearances for Arsene Wenger's side.

Oh no wonder. I hope he doenst stay out too long, i used to like RVP... as in a player haha

This is the way to break ppl legs.
-
I dun think any players have any ill intentions to injure another player so seriously.
But, after seeing the shots and the photos, I guess the arsenal striker would take a long time to come back.
Hope he take care and recover fast like Cisse.
-
It's careless, or just tackle once he got the ball. He dun mean it but he wan to show his challenge is tough and hard. Means tackle without care wat happen next.

Dudu's bday is tmr. How sad is this. Have to celebrate your bday in the hospital with a broken ankle.

I think Taylor didnt laugh la. He was more of stunned and disgusted. But Taylor is still a puny cunt. Havent come out and say sorry

tell me if that's not a huge grin on his face.
but i may be less pissed if he had came out to say smth.
