Long lay-off for Viduka

1:59pm Thursday 8th May 2008

Mark Viduka, the Newcastle United forward, could be out of action for up six months. He has an Achilles problem.

Viduka, seven goals to his name this season, was due to have an injection for his long-standing injury today which needs time to settle and allow the problem to clear up.

The news could hinder Stoke City's hopes of landing Shola Ameobi.
