Viduka's slow progress

Middlesbrough striker Mark Viduka has targeted a return to training by the start of next month as he continues his recovery from a broken toe.
The 31-year-old Australia international has been sidelined since suffering the injury in last month's Tyne-Tees clash with Newcastle United.
But the former Leeds United and Celtic forward told the Evening Gazette: "It's coming along but these things take time. I hope that I can be back in full training in three weeks."
Meanwhile, Boro have recalled David Wheater from his loan spell at Wolves.
The 19-year-old moved to Molineux last month but has returned to Boro early after making only one appearance for Mick McCarthy's side.
