MARK Viduka today returned to training, but the striker is still a few weeks off a playing comeback for Newcastle United.
Viduka missed the final game of last season and almost all of pre-season with an Achilles problem.
But the 32-year-old is finally back on the training pitch, and manager Kevin Keegan hopes to have him available early next month.
Keegan said: "Mark Viduka trained for the first time this morning, but he's not had a pre-season.
"He's done a lot of fitness work, but he's still behind all the others."
Viduka scored seven goals in an injury-hit first campaign at St James's Park, following his move from Middlesbrough.
