Arsenal striker Eduardo will return to competitive action in a reserve game against Portsmouth on 16 December.

There were fears for his career after he suffered a fractured left fibula and an open dislocation of his left ankle at Birmingham on 23 February.

But the 25-year-old Croatian's rehabilitation has gone well and Wenger said last week: "He is joining in full training matches but needs games now."

News of his return will come as a boost to Arsenal, who have beaten Chelsea and Manchester United recently but are eight points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool.


Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has hit out at claims he has demanded a massive pay rise in his contract negotiations.

Benitez's agent is holding talks with Reds owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett over a new deal to replace his current one, which has 18 months left.

"I was surprised to read that I was demanding more money. That is not true," said the Spaniard.
