Former Arsenal striker Eduardo is looking forward to playing a part in Croatia's World Cup tournament. This will be his first effort in the major tournament.
Injuries have blighted the Brazilian born forward throughout his career and he now is set to make his first appearance for his country in a World Cup.
"Without a doubt this is a little odd, but I see it as a great opportunity too," said the Shakhtar forward.
"I have missed three major tournaments, because there was (UEFA) Euro 2008 as well, when I was still recovering from injury.
"I experienced what it was like to play (at a major competition) at Euro 2012, but your first World Cup is something special.
"I could never have imagined this situation: to be Brazilian and have the chance to play in a World Cup in your own country, but in the shirt of another national team."
