Boro striker joins Viduka on the injury list

The striker has another serious injury. He has a stress fracture of the foot and will be out for the rest of the season. The injury was picked up in the game against Blackburn last Saturday.

He has only played three times since he broke his leg in November 2003. All of these appearances were this season, two starts and one sub appearance, clocking up around 180 minutes of first team action.
