Surgeon expects Ramsey to be out for NINE months

The surgeon who worked on Eduardo is confident of midfielder Aaron Ramsey making a full recovery from the double fracture he suffered against Stoke City.

Khalid Baloch was the consultant trauma surgeon at Selly Oak hospital in Birmingham when Eduardo broke his leg in similar circumstances following a crunching tackle from Martin Taylor.

Ramsey underwent surgery on Saturday night to reduce the fracture, and the recovery process is expected to take between six to nine months.

Baloch said: "I expect eventually Ramsey will have the same type of intensive rehab and play again. There were some similarities with Eduardo and a leg break is usually six to nine months out.

"I expect it is deja vu for Arsenal's staff and will bring back memories for them. If you look at the pictures it is similar to where Eduardo was holding his leg.

"The Arsenal physios and doctors have seen this before though and it will be fresh in their minds.

"Arsenal's physios did a great job with Eduardo."
