LUQUE TARGETS TOON COMEBACK

Luque - double strike for reserves

Newcastle striker Albert Luque hopes to force his way into the side for the clash against Bolton a week on Sunday.

The Spaniard fired a double for the reserve side on Wednesday in a 4-1 win over Liverpool and hopes that his all-round display will have caught the eye of manager Glenn Roeder.

He told the Newcastle Evening Chronicle:"I will continue to work hard, and maybe I can get back into the team for the next game against Bolton.

"I was very happy to score the two goals - I remembered how to score them from when I was in Spain! It was a good game for me, and a good result for the team."

Luque expressed his disappointment at having to play for the reserves.

"It is hard for me to play in the reserves, and I have to be honest and say that I did not expect to be playing in the second team when I moved from Spain," admitted Luque.

"But life changes, and when Glenn asks me to play in the reserves, I will play - no problem.

"I am a professional, and I know I have to show the right attitude.

"The team against Liverpool was a very young one, and as a senior player I know I have to help them and try and show them an example."
