Boro’s Viduka to miss tenth clash after injury setback

Middlesbrough striker Mark Viduka has suffered a setback in his battle against a hamstring injury.

The 29-year-old Australian, who picked up the problem during the 2-0 defeat at Birmingham on Stephen’s Day, was recovering well but has had to put his comeback on hold.

“Mark was progressing well, but he has suffered this unfortunate setback which has put his rehabilitation back another couple of weeks,” said manager Steve McClaren.
