Taylor Breaks Eduardo's (of Arsenal) Leg, bad challenge

Arsenal striker Eduardo suffered a broken leg in the third minute of their Premier League encounter against Birmingham at St Andrew's.
The Croatian went down after a challenge from Birmingham's Martin Taylor, who was shown a straight red card for serious foul play.

Eduardo, 24, remained on the pitch for seven minutes as medical staff attended to him before he was stretchered off.

He was put straight into an ambulance and taken to Selly Oak Hospital.

"Arsenal have confirmed that Eduardo has broken the lower part of his left leg and is now in hospital, where they will take a decision very shortly on whether to operate," said 5 Live's Ian Brown.

The seriousness of the injury was apparent as both sets of players and medical staff looked shocked while Eduardo was treated on the pitch.

Speaking on 5 Live, ex-Everton captain Kevin Ratcliffe said: "Looking at the players, especially (Cesc) Fabregas and Adebayor, realising the seriousness of the injury their heads went down immediately."

The Brazilian-born striker looks certain to miss out on Croatia's participation at Euro 2008 in June.

Well Eduardo had been playing in Croatia since he was 17 years old. Played there for many years, qualified for Croatian citizenship and now plays for Croatia when Brazil side would have been miles away.

ahhhhhhh duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude that's sick, ouch ouch ouch ahhhhh


poor guy, u hate to see that before a major competition

[SF1]

****s like that should be banned from football. I'm sure Wenger would agree with me, I mean what was Taylor doing? Moron, a few of my friends have been tackled pretty badly leading to bad injuries, and it is usually cause of slow fat defenders who are inferior to the player and just flatten them, jeez.


Arsenal have a problem now, only Adebayor, Bendtner and Walcott available for them, with Van Persie and Eduardo out for the now.
