Eduardo: I’m not Gunner rush my return

“IMPATIENT” injured Arsenal striker Eduardo accepts he will have to take all the time needed to ensure he returns “100% fit” from his broken leg.

The Croatia international, 25, is set to miss the rest of the season and also this summer’s Euro 2008 after suffering an horrific injury following a tackle from Birmingham’s Martin Taylor last month. While the forward is expected to make a full recovery from surgery, that process could take anything from nine months to a year.

Some of the Brazilian-born player’s rehabilitation is likely to be in Croatia, but Eduardo is determined to take things one step at a time.
