Ex-Arsenal star Eduardo looking forward to Shakhtar showdown

Shakhtar Donetsk striker Eduardo is looking forward to the Champions League clash with Arsenal after his new and old clubs were drawn together in Group H of the competition.

The Brazilian-born Croatia international joined the Ukrainian outfit this summer after three years with the Gunners and says he cannot wait to return to London on October 19.

"It will be very special to go back to London and see the Arsenal fans," he said.

"But if I score I don't think I will celebrate out of respect. The fans were good to me when I broke my leg, but didn't see my best."
