The forward of the Australian national team and club, Mark Viduka, will not play for about six weeks due to a recent injury. The 31-year-old player broke his toe, so he will not be able to help Gareth Southgate's team until December. "It's unfortunate for Mark and unfortunate for the team because he had already regained his sharpness. However, injuries are a part of the game and we will have to accept that. Mark's injury opens up opportunities for other players, and they will need to take advantage of those opportunities," said team coach G. Southgate. M. Viduka started the match in the starting lineup in the northeast derby against Newcastle on Sunday, which "Boro" won 1-0. It was his fifth appearance in this year's English Premier League season, and during that time, the Australian managed to score against opponents twice. Now all the responsibility to score goals will fall on the Nigerian national team's forward Aiyegbeni Yakubu and the Jamaican Jason Euell, who will have to help the "Boro" team climb from the bottom part of the league table in the coming weeks with their goals. Currently, "Middlesbrough" is in 13th place in the English Championships with 11 points and next Monday, they will visit Manchester, where they will face the local team "Man City."
