Eduardo speaks about the support he’s recieved
February 24, 2008 by northlondonpride
“I’m speechless and cannot express my gratitude for all the support I’ve received. Thank you, everyone. Your support means a lot to me and I could not believe that it would be so strong. Many have called me, as well as the club and Andreja, the phones won’t stop ringing. I’d like to thank everyone for their good wishes but ask for their understanding and some peace and quiet during the next several days, both for me and for my family. At this moment, after the surgery, I need to rest and sleep. There will be plenty more opportunities to talk later on.”
I would also like to thank everyone for showing there support through the blog.

The support everyone’s shown really has been fantastic. I sincerely hope Eduardo can make a recovery and play for the Arsenal again.
Thanks Edu!
You don’t need to thanks,DUDU.
We should thank you for all the greats things you did for arsenal in a short space of time.
You will recover and show the world the great person and footballer you are.
And we,gunners,know really well and we are with you
Don’t give up
Don’t ever give up Dudu. I am sure we never will. You have a lot more to achieve at this club and we will go through it together. Hope that you can recover well and come back as the winner that you always were/are/will be. You will come back a better player from this and we will always be there with you forever. Take as much time as you need but never forget that we are GUNNERS 4 LIFE and no shite tackle can take that away from us.
great idea for a blog. Best of luck Dudu, you were only getting started in your Arsenal career but we know you’ll be back.
Happy birsday, Eduardo….
Happy birsday, Eduardo….
Speaking for the first time after the incident, the summer signing from Dinamo Zagreb ruled himself out of the rest of the season and Euro 2008 in the summer however he added that he is ‘determined to overcome this injury’.
“I don’t remember the incident very well and it is not something that I want to see again on television or in the newspapers,” said Eduardo.
“All I remember is that when I fell, I looked down at my foot and it had turned the other way. The rest is just a blank. It was an unfortunate situation but these things can happen in football.
“I am unsure at the moment of the extent of the injury and how long I will be out of action for but I know that I won’t be able to play for Arsenal for the rest of the season or be ready in time for the Euros this summer.
“But I’m not worried about that. My concentration and determination is on making as quick a recovery as possible. I am determined to overcome this injury.
“I would like to thank the medical team here at Arsenal for their efforts as well as the staff at Selly Oak Hospital who carried out the operation on Saturday night. Everyone there made me feel as comfortable as possible.
“I would also like to say how touched I am by the many messages of support I have received and to be surrounded by my loved ones at this time.”
