Eduardo targets Christmas return

CROATIA hitman Eduardo has targeted a return to action with Arsenal by the end of the year.

The 25-year-old has been sidelined since suffering an horrific broken leg at Birmingham in February — which proved to be the pivotal moment in a season which slowly unravelled for the Gunners.

Although the Brazil-born forward was ruled out of Euro 2008 as a result, a spell of rehabilitation back in South America proved time well spent as his recovery has moved on quickly.
