Arsenal striker Eduardo da Silva has been released from hospital to continue his recovery from a broken leg at home.

The Arsenal striker suffered the horrific injury when he was caught by Birmingham's Martin Taylor in the 2-2 draw at St Andrews on Saturday.

He has spent the last four nights in a London hospital but the club has confirmed he has been allowed to leave.

The Croatian faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines and is certain to miss the rest of this season and Euro 2008 in the summer.

Arsenal hope he could be back in action in nine months.
