EDWARDO MAKES GOOD PRE-SEASON PROGRESS

While all the talk surrounds Manchester City’s move for Emmanuel Adebayor, Arsenal’s other striker Eduardo da Silva is content with his pre-season preparations, as he continues to make a good recovery from the terrible injury that has thus far undermined his progress at the club.



The Croatian international suffered a broken left fibula and a compound fracture of his left ankle in February 2008 against Birmingham City, and although he has featured for the Gunners since, the player has struggled with niggling injuries and his general fitness.



The Brazilian born Croatian is hopeful that next season will see him return to his full prowess, and is grateful for a full pre-season programme.



Eduardo told the Croatian press: “Everything is great, nothing hurts me. Last week I worked with a fitness coach and physio.”



“I did all that was required and Arsenal are very pleased with my recovery”



“Every day we are scheduled exercises running with the ball. Still, we mostly work on improving our fitness levels and endurance.”



“No specific exercises are carried out for the operated ankle”



“We are leaving for Bad Waltersdorf next week, on Monday. We will play two games where I should get (playing) time in one”
