Eduardo given date for comeback
Arsenal striker Eduardo will return to competition in a reserve match against Portsmouth on December 16.
There were fears for his career after suffering a fractured left fibula and dislocated his left ankle in Birmingham on February 23.
But the 25-year-old Croatian rehabilitation went well and Wenger said last week: "He is joining in full training matches, but must now play."
The Game against Pompey takes place at Barnet's Underhill ground.
News of his return will be a boost to Arsenal, who beat Chelsea and Manchester United recently but eight points behind Fa Barclaycard Premiership leaders Liverpool.
He suffered injuries after a tackle by Birmingham's Martin Taylor at the 2.2 draw at St Andrews.
Eduardo, who underwent surgery the same day, missed the rest of the season and the European Championship, but it was the subject of an intensive rehabilitation that included spells in his native Brazil.
