Soccer star Eduardo injured following Croatia return
19 February 2009Croatian soccer star Eduardo da Silva has picked up another injury following his return for both national and club sides.
The 25-year-old striker returned to action for Croatia last week against Romania, before scoring a brace versus Cardiff City for Premier League side Arsenal on Monday (February 16th).
Unlike the broken leg which had him sidelined for a year, Eduardo's latest setback will only keep him out of action for two weeks.
His club manager, Arsene Wenger, told Arsenal TV Online: "He picked up a hamstring injury two minutes before I took him off. What a nightmare.
"After that long out nobody plays six months on the trot. It is impossible."
Wenger added that the news was a "blow" following Eduardo's performance against the Bluebirds on Monday.
Prior to linking up with Arsenal, the Brazilian-born attacker plied his trade with Dinamo Zagreb - by far Croatia's most popular football team.
