It said in the paper today that Gary Lewin had to call for Gilberto to come on the pitch to talk to Eduardo to try to calm him down during his treatment.. as he was rambling on in Portugese. So Gilberto was his translator. :) |

oh he's so funky! I love his cool blue crutches. And I'm really glad to see he's still smiling despite everything he's been through in the past week. Class. I can't believe how optimistic he is. I'm sure he'll return to football one day because his mental strength is evidently very, very strong.
And they will :gooners: |

Found this on Sky Sports: Arsenal striker Eduardo da Silva has expressed his gratitude to physio Gary Lewin for saving his foot. Eduardo suffered a broken leg and dislocated ankle after Birmingham defender Martin Taylor caught the Croatian forward with a mistimed challenge in the 2-2 draw with the Blues at St Andrews last weekend. Taylor was shown a straight red card for the foul and has been heavily criticised for the challenge which has left Eduardo facing nine months on the sidelines. Eduardo, though, admits his injury could have been far worse and the 25-year-old has thanked Gunners physio Lewin for his swift action. "The injury was so grave I could have lost my foot," he told the News of the World. "So I will always be grateful to Gary for what he did in lowering the risk to my leg. That was decisive. I do not remember too much about the blow. "I remember the pain, seeing that my foot had rotated, but I only recaptured my senses in hospital." Eduardo, though, accepts Taylor's challenge did not contain any intent after the Birmingham player visited him in hospital. "I had to look at him (Taylor)," Eduardo continued. "I could not understand how anyone could make a tackle like that in only the third minute of a game. "But in the end I believed that Taylor was sincere and I accepted his excuses. "Even though he had destroyed my season it would be incredible to think that what he did was pre-meditated." And Eduardo insists he will never watch a replay of the challenge because he wishes to put the incident behind him. "I'm not interested," Eduardo added. "I've made this decision along with my wife. I want to try and forget what happened." |

[size=7]Gary Lewin - Eduardo is well on the mend now[/size] Arsenal.com 3/3/08 Eduardo has started his long road to recovery from the serious injury he suffered at Birmingham. As you can see from the exclusive picture below, the Croatian striker is on crutches following surgery to repair his leg and ankle. To find out more about Eduardo’s injury and his prognosis, Arsenal's official matchday programme spoke to Gary Lewin, the Gunners’ physio, who treated him on the pitch and will be instrumental in overseeing his rehabilitation. Gary, tell us about the immediate aftermath of the injury — because it looked like there was some quick-thinking once you were on the pitch. Yes, from the whole medical team; myself, Dr Beasley and Colin Lewin. It’s something we all train for, but something you never want to see, and unfortunately it happened on Saturday. I was the first one on the pitch, and radioed back to Colin and the Doc to get all the emergency equipment on. Then we got the gases on for pain relief and also called on Gilberto to help translate. Once we made him comfortable we immobilised the leg because the important thing is to make sure there was no movement whatsoever. So it may have taken a long time, but it went as well as it could have done. Once again our thanks go out to everyone that helped make it so smooth. They helped make an awful day go as well as we could have hoped. Is it worse for these types of injuries to happen away from home? Well, it makes it more difficult because we do all our training at Emirates with our own paramedics. But medical people worldwide know what they have to do in these situations. Dr Beasley was fantastic, Colin knew exactly what his role was and he took over the medical care once Eduardo left the pitch, and went with him to the hospital. He kept in touch with us during and after the game. Also Paul Irwin, the player liaison officer, did an unbelievable job for us too. He came up from London with Eduardo’s wife and was invaluable with all his help. Over the weekend myself, the Doc and Paul liaised with the surgical staff and transported him back to London, where we took over his medical care. All in all it was a big team effort, with a lot of people being involved. How did the operation itself go? It went really well. The professor at Selly Oak Hospital did a great job, it all went smoothly. Eduardo stabilised on Sunday, then transferred to London. We checked him out with our people on Monday, and he stayed in hospital until Wednesday. So the surgery went really well. He’s well on the mend now and the only cause for concern is if he gets any infection, because it was an open fracture. The crucial part now is the next two weeks. If we can get through that without infection, and all the signs so far are very good, then we can start the rehab and the long road to recovery. What exactly was the injury, as there were conflicting reports in the papers? He had an open fracture of the fibula, and he had a dislocated ankle. Both have now been repaired surgically and at the moment it looks successful. It was a very bad one, but saying that it could have been worse. Of course it could have been a lot better, and only time will tell just how bad it is. What is his rehabilitation schedule now? He will stay in England now while he is in the plaster. Then we will liaise with him about the rehab programme. What we tend to do with players is send them to rehab centres so that they are not in the same place for the whole time. That could be Brazil for example, where some of the players have been before. There is a really good rehab centre in Rio. Or it could be on the continent, we will make a decision together. You have seen many serious injuries in your time. How would you describe Eduardo’s state of mind given the circumstances? He is coping excellently. He has been very, very positive, very upbeat. He understands what has gone on, he understands what’s going to happen in the future. He understands the seriousness of it, but at the same time he knows that players have come back from it before. He has had an unbelievable response from other professionals, doctors and physios from all round the country who have all sent their best wishes. I won’t embarrass the players by naming them but he has had individual messages from players who have been there and done it. They don’t know him but they know how hard it can be and have got in touch. The response has been really, really nice and that will help him in his recovery. |

AWWW!!! He got February's Player of the Month!! Eduardo has been chosen by the fans as their Player of the Month for February. The Croatian striker's season was cut short in horrific circumstances when he broke his left fibula and suffered an open dislocation of his ankle in the opening minutes of the game at Birmingham. But prior to that Eduardo did enough to show that, when he returns, Arsenal can expect plenty more goals from their summer signing. Eduardo's finest moments of February came right at the start of the month. The 25-year-old was exceptional against Manchester City, combining well with Emmanuel Adebayor and scoring a fine goal with an overhead kick in Arsenal's 3-1 win. Eduardo followed that display with starts against Blackburn, Manchester United and Milan before that fateful trip to St. Andrews. This is the second time Eduardo has scooped our Player of the Month award and, on this occasion, he polled 36.4 per cent of the votes. Adebayor, our January winner, was second with 18.4 per cent while Mathieu Flamini was third with 11.4 per cent. |
