Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is confident new striker signing Eduardo Da Silva can handle facing tough-tackling Blackburn in tomorrow's Premiership debut.

Wenger said: "Ewood Park will be a good place for me to learn about Eduardo and for him to learn about the Premier League.

"He's a strong, physical player and I have no fears for him. There's a good chance he will be involved but I'm not sure he'll start.

"He has had a little session but that was the first time with the team. He will have a test in the morning and then I will decide."
