Newcastle United striker Mark Viduka is set to return to Premier League action this weekend. Viduka has been out with an Achilles problem since late last season but has been back in training this past week.
Magpies boss Joe Kinnear was hopeful of a return from his number one striker against his former club Middlesbrough this weekend.
"If I had just been appointed yesterday and had been watching Mark in training for the first time, I'd have been thinking about playing him this afternoon against Chelsea," Kinnear said on Saturday.
"He's got to give me the OK, but what I see with my eyes in training is absolutely superb. I think he's about a week away."
