Duff Takes Backward Step!

Last updated : 07 December 2007 By Footy Mad - Editor
Duff's comeback has been put back after last night's reserve game at Manchester United was washed out.

The game - being staged at Northwich Victoria's ground - was postponed because of a waterlogged pitch, just as United's players were getting off the coach.



Duff, who is yet to kick a ball for the Magpies this season, has been on the sidelines since suffering a dislocation in the middle of his foot against Portsmouth back in April.

The injury had been career-threatening, however, Duff remained strong, battled his way back to fitness and is now looking to step-up his recovery.

With Sam Allardyce's tenure not starting as well as he would have liked, the return of one of the club's star players would come as a major boost.
