Martin Taylor (out of shot) is sent off as Eduardo receives treatment
Arsenal striker Eduardo suffered a suspected broken leg in the third minute of their Premier League encounter at Birmingham.
The Croatian went down after a challenge from Birmingham's Martin Taylor, who was shown a straight red card for serious foul play.
Eduardo, 24, remained on the pitch for seven minutes as medical staff attended to him before he was stretchered off.
He was put straight into an ambulance and taken to Selly Oak Hospital. The seriousness of the injury was apparent as both sets of players and medical staff looked stunned while Eduardo was treated on the pitch. Speaking on 5 Live, ex-Everton captain Kevin Ratcliffe said: "Looking at the players, especially (Cesc) Fabregas and Adebayor, realising the seriousness of the injury their heads went down immediately."

EDUARDO will miss the rest of the season after breaking his leg at St Andrew's.
The Croatian striker was carried off the pitch on a stretcher just three minutes into Arsenal's clash with Birmingham following a challenge by Martin Taylor.
Taylor was red-carded for the tackle and Sky Sports initially refused to show replays of the incident due to the horrific nature of the injury.
