Eduardo da Silva has taken a giant step back to action
with Arsenal by participating in his first training session with
Arsene Wenger’s first team since a horrific leg injury sustained in
February, according to reports in the Croatian press.
While no return date has yet been set, Arsenal coach Boro
Primorac has welcomed the sight of Eduardo engaging with his
team-mates during training on Wednesday.
“Eduardo is for the first time today [Wednesday] practicing
with the team after his serious injury,” Primorac told Sportske
Novosti.
“Of course, he worked with reduced capacity, mainly stretching
and jogging. He is not yet at the stage where he can go into full
contact, but it will come.
“I cannot tell you exactly when Eduardo will play the first
match. That will be when it is decided that he is completely
ready.
“It is clear that the first match Eduardo will play will be for
the reserves, before gradually joining the top team.”
