Arsenal striker Eduardo da Silva is three weeks away from returning from his horrific broken leg.
Manager Arsene Wenger told the club's AGM that the Croatia international would be able to play as soon as mid-November following ninth months out.
Eduardo suffered a compound fracture of the lower left leg in a tackle by Birmingham City's Martin Taylor during a Premier League match in February.
The 25-year-old, who scored 12 times in his debut season before the injury, has undergone successful rehabilitation and looks set to defy fears that he would no play again.
Wenger said: Eduardo is three weeks away from playing competitive football.
However, the Frenchman offered a more pessimistic analysis of midfielder Tomas Rosicky.
The Czech international has been out since the end of January with hamstring and knee problems, and Wenger admitted he is unlikely to play again in 2008.
He should be back after Christmas," said Wenger.
