The striker played his first game after 10 months out with a broken leg in the reserves' 2-0 win over Portsmouth at Barnet last night.

Eduardo was happy to have finally got 45 minutes of competitive action under his belt again, coming off at half-time as a precaution after feeling a twinge in his hamstring.

The 25-year-old is clearly taking it one step at a time following a remarkable recovery from what looked like a career-ending injury.

However, he feels a first-team return against Plymouth in a fortnight is a realistic target. "I hope I can do more, and that next time will be better," said Eduardo. "I just felt something in my hamstring, but in two weeks, I will be all right.

"I need more training and games, and then I will be ready to play. I just want to play like I did before, but maybe I can be better."
