Viduka back for Magpies

Newcastle striker Mark Viduka will return from injury for tomorrow night’s Barclays Premier League clash with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

The Australia international has missed the last two games with a calf problem, but will be available once again for his side’s second trip to the same venue in four days after Saturday’s FA Cup fourth-round clash.

Midfielder Emre completes his three-match ban and such is Kevin Keegan’s shortage of players Joey Barton could be involved following a change in his bail conditions. Habib Beye, Abdoulaye Faye, Geremi and Obafemi Martins are away on African Nations Cup duty.

Provisional squad: Given, Harper, Carr, N’Zogbia, Enrique, Rozehnal, Cacapa, Taylor, Edgar, Butt, Barton, Smith, Milner, Duff, LuaLua, Owen, Viduka, Ameobi, Carroll.
