Eduardo Could Make Bench For Wigan Clash
Arsenal striker Eduardo da Silva could be given a place on the substitutes bench for the Gunners’ Saturday afternoon League clash with Wigan this Saturday.
The Brazilian-born Croatian forward has been missing ever since he suffered a horrendous fractured fibula and a dislocated ankle after being tackled by Birmingham’s Martin Taylor in February earlier this year.
According to Reserve & Youth team blog Young Guns, Eduardo played in a behind-closed-doors friendly match against Nottingham Forest last week. The 25-year-old only played the last few minutes, but did get several touches on the ball which obviously began to bring him back into match practice.
“As soon as possible he will play now,” confirmed Wenger when questioned about Dudu. “He is joining in full training matches but he needs games now.”
And with the news that Kolo Toure is back from injury, things seem to get a whole lot better for Arsene Wenger’s young side. William Gallas (calf), Abou Diaby (abdominal strain), Tomas Rosicky (hamstring) and Theo Walcott (shoulder) are all missing, but other than that, a full strength eleven should take to the field at the Emirates.

don’t used fucking silverster
who kicked out asshole manu.
i don’t want to see fucking silverster.
should use some one from academy than denilson.he is awful.
idiot wenger love french player like his step father.
Why Wenger is so opposed to playing Vela in the midfield is beyond me. It makes no sense. We are depleated to the point where we have to resort to playing central players in wide positions and time and time again it proves to hinder us greatly. It make no sense what so ever to start Denilson on the right, someone who ALWAYS cuts in and is slow instead of sticking Vela on the left, a kid with pace who after all played WHOLE SEASON at left midfield for Osasuna last year in La Liga.
^ Agreed don’t like Denilson playing out wide give Vela a run.
the reason wenger dont put vela is bcos we cant compete physically when players like nasri and song already in d squad. he resorted to denilson as he provides support in terms of presence. if vela plays along with nasri, csec, and song/denilson we r too lightweight in midfield imo
