Eduardo Da Silva’s Horrific Leg Break Injury
February 26th, 2008
The result may have read Birmingham 2-2 Arsenal after 90minutes of play, however the entire game was overshadowed by the horrific and sickening injury to Eduardo after just 3 minutes into the game.
The 24 year old Croatian striker suffered a broken leg after a tackle by Martin Taylor. Referee Mike Dean immediatley called upon Arsenal physio Gary Lewin and the St John’s Ambulance volunteers to attend to the striker and subsequently issued a straight red to Taylor.
Team-mates Cesc Fabregas & Hleb instantly recognized the extent of the injury as all concerned individuals stepped back to let the medical staff intervene.
Eduardo was treated on the field for 7 minutes, which included the need for oxygen support, before being stretchered off and rushed of to hospital in Birmingham.
Both teams did their best to remain focused on the match, but the extent of the injury to fellow team-mate Eduardo and the impact it had on the entire squad was evident.
Emotions were running high, as were displayed by the actions of William Gallas. Upon the final whistle, William Gallas sat still on the field before being called to his feet by Manager Arsene Wenger.
Manager Arsene Wenger also displayed his emotions in a post-match interview in which he stated
”I think this guy should never play football again.” “What is this guy doing on the football pitch?
”I feel the idea has been going around for some time that to stop Arsenal you have to kick Arsenal. That sort of injury was coming for a long time.”
“Many people have got away with too many bad tackles. We’ve escaped a few times but it’s just not acceptable. If that is football it’s better to stop it.
“The worst thing you hear after is that ‘he’s not the kind of guy who usually does that’, but you need to only kill one person one time - it’s enough.”
Commenting upon the injury to Eduardo he added:
”His injury is very bad. It is more than his season over.
Our thoughts are with Eduardo and wish him a speedy recovery.
