However Thelin is hopeful the Cape Verde international can still join the Dons in the Algarve. Duk did not return for pre-season in the Granite City last week as he was given an extended break after being on international duty during the summer. Duk was scheduled to join the Reds in Portugal.

He is contracted to the Dons until next summer.
