Eduardo Arsenal return imminent

Arsene Wenger has revealed that crocked striker Eduardo da Silva could be set for a return to action in the next couple of weeks, and will start off playing in the reserves before being recalled to the Arsenal first team.

Eduardo has been out of action for nearly a year after Birmingham City defender Martin Taylor broke his leg in a reckless challenge last season.

"I believe we might see him for the first time in the Reserves on December 16 against Portsmouth,” said Wenger.

“After that we will just go from there but he looks very good and very sharp in training.”
