Birmingham City defender Martin Taylor has already visited Arsenal's Eduardo da Silva in hospital.
Taylor returned again yesterday morning and was able to explain in person that he meant no malice in the challenge.
Eduardo, 25 today, has now been moved to a hospital nearer his London home. At first it was feared he had broken his left ankle, shin and leg. But The Sun says only two of the three are shattered.
Yet he still faces at least 11 months' recovery and recuperation from his horror injury before he can consider training again.
