Manager Arsène Wenger has praised striker Eduardo da Silva after the Brazilian's comeback from a career-threatening injury.

The Croatian international marked his return with two goals against Cardiff City in the FA Cup.

Wenger said: ''Everybody is very happy for him. This is the kind of game we love to play, and it was good to see them play with the handbrake off.

''He played a big part in that, and I'm very pleased for him. He made a big step forward in training two weeks ago, and you could see he found his sharpness in front of goal.

''He's been extremely strong mentally. I've never seen one minute of doubt in his mind, not one minute where he said 'I don't want to do this'.

"He is always wanting more. This guy is small but he has the mental strength of a mountain.'

''We'll know at the end of the season how important it [his comeback] is, but I'm very happy to have him back.

"He can play as a striker, on the flank, behind the striker, up front on his own. That is important for us.''
