Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger expects Eduardo da Silva to join full-scale training next week.

The Croatian striker has not played since breaking his leg and dislocating his ankle during a Premier League game at Birmingham City on February 23. Now, after surgery and a long rehabilitation, Eduardo is on the brink of rejoining his team-mates on the training pitch.

"Eduardo is doing very well and is one week away from joining in training," Wenger confirmed on arsenal.com.
