Eduardo's career over?

Next time somebody claims soccer is not a contact sport, point them this way.

“Arsenal’s Eduardo suffers devastating injury”

The Brazilian-born Croatian international suffers a broken leg and the possible ending of his career when Birmingham City’s Martin Taylor delivers a studs-up tackle.

I haven’t seen a replay yet, but it sounds awful.

It occurred when Birmingham defender Martin Taylor made a crude, studs-up lunge of a tackle that shattered the 24-year-old forward’s left leg and ankle.

Eduardo was treated on the field for 10 minutes, while players who saw the extent of the damage turned away at the sight. The injury will sideline him for the rest of the season, will almost certainly cost him his place at the European Championship in June, and could end his career.
