The Croatia international is facing many months on the sidelines after suffering the setback following a tackle by Birmingham defender Martin Taylor during Saturday's 2-2 draw at St Andrews.

"Would I like to win the title for Eduardo? Yes, of course. We wanted to win it before, but now we want to win it also for him. Eduardo is not going to be with us for a long time so, of course, we want to win it for him," said Flamini.

A distraught Taylor, who was red-carded for the challenge, went to visit Eduardo in hospital in Birmingham on Sunday before he was transferred to a London hospital.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has back-tracked on his initial comment minutes after the final whistle that Taylor "should never play football again".

But the incident still left the Arsenal players feeling distressed and now they want to capture the league crown for Eduardo who on Monday celebrates his 25th birthday.

Midfielder Flamini said: "We have lost Eduardo. It is a terrible injury because he has a broken leg. It was difficult. I have no words to describe what I saw.

"It was maybe the worst injury I have seen. We will have to stay very close to him because it's going to be difficult. It will be difficult to get over. He is a friend and a team-mate. It upsets you."
