Arsenal’s Croatian striker Eduardo, who suffered a
horrific leg injury nearly 12 months ago at Birmingham that could
have ended his career, insists he is ready to return to first-team
action for the Gunners.
The 25-year-old Croatian international, who bagged 12 goals in
31 competitive matches for Arsene Wenger's side last season before
his infamous clash with Birmingham's Martin Taylor, completed 90
minutes for the reserves against Stoke on Wednesday and is now
targeting an appearances for Arsenal in Sunday’s FA Cup Fourth
Round tie at Cardiff City.
"I feel much stronger than I have and I am very happy now,"
Eduardo told the club's official website. "I think I am ready for
the first-team, but you would have to ask the boss.
"I feel very well and I am training hard every day. Of course I
want to come back quick and strong. Now, every game for me is a big
step. In my head and everything I am ready. I am just waiting for
my chance."
