"Eduardo has fractured his left fibula and sustained an open dislocation of his ankle joint in the same leg."
The club appear rather optimistic about Eduardo's prognosis:
"It is hoped that Eduardo will be running again in six months time and making a full recovery after nine months."
I do not wish to appear pessimistic, however the outcome of these kind of serious injuries is not always good. In fact the prescence of a fracture dislocation of the ankle is a predictor of poor outcome:
"Logistical regression analysis indicated that fracture dislocation could be used as a predictor of a poor outcome for either group."
I hope I am wrong, however it is possible that Eduardo may not return quite the player he once was. Let's not get carried away, there's a long slog ahead for Eduardo and we should see any progress as a bonus, rather than the other way around.
