Talk about looking on the bright side!
Michael Owen has handed Newcastle a boost after scans showed only his anterior cruciate ligament was ruptured whilst away on international duty.
"It's a rupture, you can't see the cruciate on the scan so it's obviously floating about somewhere in the knee, but apart from that there is minimal damage.I'm sorry, but I don't see much of an upside here. Owen "will likely be out of action until the New Year", Ameobi is hurting and the next striker on the depth-chart is Albert Luque. Expect NUFC to open their InterToto campaign with lots of possession, but little penetration in the attacking 1/3.
"There is nothing else that needs operating on, so that is a big bonus.
"Not so much of a bonus in terms of time limits, but just in coming back where you have just one injury to come back from and not plenty of things going on in your knee."
