Arsenal midfielder Mathieu
Flamini has warned that Eduardo's horrific broken leg has only made
the squad more determined to win the title.
Croatia star Eduardo faces at
least a year on the sidelines after Martin Taylor's mistimed
challenge in the third minute of the Gunners' 2-2 draw with
Birmingham.
And Flamini declared: "We
wanted to win the league before but now we want to win it also for
Eduardo. It upsets you because he has a broken leg. He is not going
to be with us for a long time so we want to win the league for
him.
"It was a terrible injury -
maybe the worst I have seen. I went to see him and it was really
bad, it is hard to describe what I saw. It's going to be difficult
for him."
Flamini added: "We came back
into the dressing room at half-time and said: 'Come on, we've got
to act, we have to win this as we want to win the title. We have to
win this game to do it'.
"We've shown some great
character because it was difficult to get back in the game. We did
it and to end up with only a draw is very disappointing.
"We should have killed the
game. It is a bad result for us - especially when we conceded the
goal 30 seconds before the end of the game."
