Owen injury nightmare rocks club and country
MICHAEL OWEN is expected to miss the whole of next season after a setback in his recovery from the knee injury he sustained at the World Cup finals. The Newcastle United striker had hoped to return early next year, but he will now be out for at least ten months.

Ouch, coup dur pour Newcastle et la Premier League...
Sinon:
ITALY World Cup star Rino Gattuso could soon be on his way to Manchester United.
But the deal will only happen this summer if AC Milan are relegated in the massive Italian match-fixing scandal.
Intermediaries for United and the player have met in Germany — but so far his Milan club have been left out.
Midfielder Gattuso, 28, has been looking for an excuse to join United.
He is on record as saying: "It is my dream to play for Manchester United and I have had this dream for a long time."
And a well-placed Italian source revealed: "Let’s just say that all parties except Milan are being kept informed and are waiting for the end of the tournament and the trial with interest."
