The 25-year-old suffered a fractured left fibula and an open dislocation of his left ankle in a challenge with Birmingham's Martin Taylor on Saturday. Eduardo will have his leg in plaster for the next six to eight weeks before beginning a rehabilitation programme. </p> Arsenal say the Croatia international, signed for £7.5m in 2007, should be running again in six months.</p></font></td></tr></tbody></table>
if he's back playing in 9 months that will be a miricale i would have guessed a year to a year and a half for a brake that bad if at all
RE: apparrantly he would have lost his foot had he not had the immediate medical treatment Daniel Day Lewis (think it was him) never struggled to footy in the film "my left foot". Did he have both feet and was just a bit wonky or did he have one lobbed off?
