But if we think Mark Viduka rarely shows his face ... Ashton is streets ahead of the Australian international.

The England international suffered a fresh blow last night - finding out he will be out until March — at the earliest.

The West Ham striker had surgery on his left ankle yesterday, but docs say it could even be April before Ashton, 24, is 100 per cent fit.

The England star was crocked during Zola's first training session in charge.
