This one is about a month old, but does anyone have any update reports on Mikey? http://edition.cnn.com/2006/SPORT/football/12/03/england.owen/index.html
newcastle is constantly plagued by injuries. seems like they have a serious problem with their medical setup.
They showed Owen in the stands during tonight's humiliation against B'ham. I'm sure that will have encouraged him to get back on the pitch with this Newcastle team!
Seems you might have to wait longer. Queries directed to their press office elicit the following replies : Mark Hannen <Mark.Hannen@nufc.co.uk> Jan 17 (18 hours ago) Date Jan 17, 2007 2:04 PM In rehab still Still a good few months away from his comeback Regards Press office
This one is about 2 weeks old. http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=438569&CPID=8&clid=4&lid=&title=Owen+eyes+April+return We have a thread on it in the Newcastle Forum. https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=456705
From the first slo-mo replay of him twisting his leg, I thought his career was over. If he comes back at all it will be a miracle. Poor guy.
Its always deeply disturbing to see a player go down like that especially one of the coolest guys around (Owen). Miracles do happen...but it seems mostly at Old Trafford. Ole Gunnar Solskjear came back from 2 seasons out, so did Van Nistlerooi. Pity Gabriel Heinz has failed to emulate.
Owen will still have his finishing and striking instincts when he comes back, weather he'll come back and be as fit or as quick is very doubtful.
That's what sucks. He was so good at using his speed to create his own chances. Still I'm not convinced he won't make a complete comeback. It's doubtful of course but one can hope. You never know these days.
Judging by this statement, It 's not looking good for this season return.. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/6322797.stm
Might be for the best. I would love to see him get a few games but I would much rather him wait until he's comfortable and the doctors feel he has made a full recovery.
Its a shame that by the time he comes back he would have basically spent two seasons out injured. However it is better to not rush the come back like they did before before the world cup.
Its a shame Owen went down injured. Love watching him play. It was so odd how he went down, like he just collapsed.
