My heart goes out to Eduardo Da Silva.
Arsenal striker Eduardo Da Silva suffered a horrific injury in the opening stages of Saturday's Premier League encounter at Birmingham City. The Croatia international was injured in a tackle with City's Martin Taylor in the second minute of the encounter and was treated on the pitch for eight minutes before being taken to hospital.
Taylor was dismissed in the aftermath of the incident. The injury has been described as similar to the one suffered by Coventry City's David Busst in 1996 when his career was ended after colliding with Manchester United duo Denis Irwin and Brian McClair.
Such was the nature of Eduardo's injury that Sky Sports declined to show a replay of the incident while several players appeared to be shocked by what they had seen.
I really hope this injury is not a career ending injury. I pray he bounces back the way Manchester United's Alan Smith bounced back after that horrific injury suffered at Anfield in the FA Cup a few years ago.
Let's all say a prayer for Eduardo.
