Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is confident Eduardo da Silva can recapture his very best form.

"There is no reason why he can't be as good as before," said the Frenchman ahead of Sunday's trip to West Ham.

"He is a very young boy and when you have that kind of injury before the age of 25 you recover and progress normally. That is what the statistics say.

"[If you are older] when you have that kind of injury, it is bye bye to your career. The luck we have is that he's very young."
