Now who are we to believe. Arsenal FC or Croatia’s national team doctor?
Dr Boris Nemec said today that Eduardo underwent two minor surgeries. The first was a revision surgery on the left ankle to remove small metal screws which were originally placed there to assist in his recovery from the horrible injury he sustained more than a year ago.
The other however was on the same ankle which apparently has been troubling him since his come back late this season. It was to remove a bone that has been troubling Eduardo’s mobility.
“The doctor has removed a small bone on the ankle that slightly bothered ankle mobility. After that a small incision was made to remove screws that were placed in the ankle. The operation lasted about an hour Dr Nemec said.
We can reveal that the arthroscopy was carried out by the famous Dutch doctor Niek van Dijk who is very sought after by athletes all over the world suffering from ankle related problems. He was the doctor that treated Manchester United’s Ronaldo last season.
It appears that Arsenal decided to take advantage of the planned removal of the screws to carry out this second minor operation on the troublesome ankle at the same time.
This means that Eduardo will now be ready to start physiotherapy and if all goes well will be ready for preseason training on the 5th July.

F**** the potential Arsene, we have had enough
By 1970’s Gooner
This was men against boys. The difference in class was so obvious to see.
The United players were more experienced, stronger and covered so well for each other that even if Gibbs did not slip to let Park score the first goal they would have still run out comfortable winners.
The Arsenal team was littered with young boys and seeing them try to get to grips with the United pros was embarrassing.
Gibbs, yes he has potential but so obviously not ready for this type of game. He was found wanting in the first leg where most of United’s attacks and goal originated from his side.
In tonight’s game his slip set the tone of the game. And make no mistake his slip was a result of being under pressure, from knowing that Park was lurking behind him with intend.
Why didn’t Wenger go for more experience right from the first leg and play Eboue. He did after all trust him to start the Champions League Final in 2006.
Djourou was turned inside out by Ronaldo and Rooney and the centre of Arsenal’s defence looked porous all night.
Walcott was once again shut out of the game by Evra who was too strong for him.
Adebayor was a little more interested but was not effective enough and Van Persie was unfit and unable to support him.
Fabregas was nowhere to be seen, passes going astray and above all showing no leadership.
The only players to come out with any credit were Nasri and Song. Nasri was trying really hard, chasing the ball and making the play. Song was doing the defensive work very well and in addition was also trying to be creative, so ineffective was Fabregas.
And finally Wenger has to accept the most criticism for making all those inexplicable selections in the first leg, with Fabregas, Nasri and Diaby all played out of position in a formation which was wrong.
It was he that said that these ties are lost in the first leg. Well he did loose it in the first leg didn’t he?
He also lost it in that FA Cup semi final against Chelsea when for some unfathomable reason he dropped Arshavin played Van Persie out of position who promptly got injured too!
What a shambles. And what a shambles this policy of relying mostly on youth is turning out to be.
Well you can’t do that Mr Wenger, you have to have a balance in the team and blend these exciting youngsters with more experienced and physically stronger players. Otherwise you will still be pitching this potential lark to us for years to come.
Well it’s been four years now and we are still waiting.
WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH.
