Viduka gives Dublin a miss

MARK VIDUKA yesterday pulled out of Leeds’ pre-season trip to Dublin – much to the disappointment of boss Peter Reid.

Viduka has cited a sore ankle as the reason he will not be travelling to the capital today for matches against Aston Villa tomorrow and either Shelbourne or St Patrick’s Athletic on Sunday.

Australia international Viduka is known to be unhappy with life at Elland Road, particularly in light of a training-ground war of words with Reid last week.
