Eduardo Could Be Fit For Arsenal In November

Eduardo suffered a fractured leg and open dislocation to his ankle in a Premier League game at Birmingham City in February.

Arsenal's Croatia striker Eduardo da Silva could be fit by November while their Czech Republic midfielder Tomas Rosicky may be back in action by next month, manager Arsene Wenger said.

Eduardo suffered a fractured leg and open dislocation to his ankle in a Premier League game at Birmingham City in February while Rosicky's hamstring problem has kept him sidelined since he limped off against Newcastle United in January.

"The situation is positive for both players," Wenger was quoted as saying on the north London club's official website (www.arsenal.com). "We believe Tomas could be available in September and Eduardo maybe in November."
