Hugo Viana should be back to face Inter Milan in the Champions League tonight. Andy Griffin will also play, as will Craig Bellamy. Hugo Viana is set to return for Wednesday's Champions League visit of Inter Milan while Andy Griffin should also recover from a stomach bug.
The Portuguese star missed Saturday's 5-3 humbling at Manchester United after damaging his knee ligaments in the 2-1 win over Southampton two weeks ago.

However, the 19-year-old is now back to full fitness and should take his place on the left flank at St James' Park in place of Olivier Bernard. Viana's return is expected to be the only change to the starting line-up following that Old Trafford defeat as full-back Griffin is expected to recover from a stomach bug.

And Sir Bobby Robson has called on his players to grow up at home to Inter and banish the memory the woeful defensive display in Manchester, although he does believe his side are more than capable of springing another surprise in the Champions League.

"Our defence deserved criticism and it's been dealt with internally - we've handled that," he said. "But we've all seen games at home where we've been good defensively. We feel we have a good enough squad, and if we play like we did here when we beat Juventus, we'll have a chance,"

He added. "But we need a dramatic reaction from the players after Saturday because we're playing a crack side, with some of the top players in Europe."
