Eduardo Update

Yesterday afternoon a certain Niek van Dijk of Amsterdam performed a routine surgical procedure (oxymoron if you ask me) on our Eduardo, removing the leftover metal parts in his ankle. So besides the fact he’s now less Terminator, the removal of these parts is just a signal that Eduardo’s ankle is now as fully recovered and once he sits out through the latest recovery period (4-6 weeks apparently), he’ll be good to go.

Note that while this procedure was in the end inevitable, it was decided that it’d be best that he performs it now, as he’s already off the pitch due to an injury suffered earlier in the month. Sort of like killing 2 birds with one stone (awful saying that). So it’s good news in the end.

And now for something completely different, and it’s actually another bit of good news. This one comes from Turkey, as our own Darijo Srna led his Shakthar to a their first ever European title, attained through a 2:1 win over Werder Bremen. Darijo was as persistent and annoying to his adversaries down that right side as ever, capping his appearance with a superb assist to what has proved to be the winning goal in the end. A captains performance, no more and no less.

Do notice how the flag colors on Darijo’s back match with that of the trophy. More please. Bravo Darijo!
