Taylor: I will be happy when Eduardo is playing
again
Defender Martin Taylor says that he will be happy when Brazilian
Eduardo da Silva is back playing again.
Speaking for the first-time since breaking Eduardo's leg in a
tackle, Taylor also revealed details of his visit to the Croatian
international when he was in a Birmingham hospital.
Taylor said: "I'll be really happy on the day when I see he is
back in the Arsenal and Croatia line-up and when he is scoring
goals again.
"The injury was terrible enough. When he gets back to fitness
and he puts the ball in the net for Arsenal for the first time, we
will all feel much better.
"People will be able to see that accidents like these are the
nature of football and you can recover from it.
"I went to see him on Saturday.
"Unfortunately, he was still recovering from an operation, so
first thing on Sunday morning I went to the hospital and he was
really good to see me.
"I thought maybe he wouldn't want to see me, which would have
been fair enough because of the trauma.
"Although there was a language barrier, I just said that I
didn't mean him any harm at all and that I hoped he made a quick
recovery.
"He took it on board and nodded. I was just really glad we could
communicate. He is obviously a really strong man.
"Since then, I have read in the papers that he would be happy
for me to visit him. That's something I'd like to do."
