"I haven't spoken with Mark longer than five seconds," the Socceroo boss said today.

"He has been with us already the whole week more or less. He has own program trying to get fit as soon as possible.

"I haven't spoken to him about returning to the national team yes or no because in this moment, he is not so interesting for me."

Viduka has endured a frustrating spell on the sidelines at Newcastle United with an achiles injury. Latest reports have him out for potentially six months if he has to be operated on.

"I never say never," added Verbeek. "He promised me last year in April in Newcastle that he wants to be at the World Cup 2010.

"And I think that's why he's here but that's why we give him the possibility to be in the camp and use the facility and for him to show interest in the Socceroos and be back in Australia.

"On the other hand, it gives an idea that he is welcome in our training camp and to get fit as soon as possible."
