Viduka back for Derby

Striker Mark Viduka will return to the Newcastle squad for tomorrow’s derby trip to Sunderland.

The 32-year-old will resume after four games on the sidelines with a calf problem, although defender Claudio Cacapa is a doubt with a knee injury and Nicky Butt is suspended after reaching five bookings for the season.

Shay Given is out with a groin problem and Celestine Babayaro’s return has been delayed by a back injury, while Damien Duff (ankle) and Stephen Carr (hamstring) are still working their way back to full fitness.

Provisional squad: Harper, Forster, Beye, Enrique, Rozehnal, Taylor, Cacapa, Faye, Milner, Geremi, Emre, N’Zogbia, Barton, Smith, Pattison, Owen, Viduka, Martins, Ameobi.
