Michael Owens twisted knee and subsequent Globe Cup exit, coming only weeks immediately after recuperating from a earlier injury was not only a personal set-back, but also in the end a fatal blow to Englands Planet Cup hopes.
Sven-Goran Erikssons nonsensical squad selections for the Planet Cup left England not only light in the striker department, but also seriously comprised our probabilities of a successful tournament.
With only four strikers to decide on from Eriksson always knew he was playing a dangerous game. This was compounded by the truth Rooney and Owen have been returning from injury and Theo Walcott had by no means played a first group game for Arsenal.
But Owens injury will have hurt Eriksson. He took an unnecessary risk, overloading his squad with midfielders, assuming the goals would be shared amongst the team.
Michael Owen became an overnight sensation one humid evening in St Etienne in the course of the France Globe Cup of 1998.
As a young eighteen-year-old, Owen scored a sensational solo aim against Argentina in the second round only for England to shed when again on penalties.
But he returned to Liverpool Football Club a national hero and England had discovered a striker whose presence on the area could spark fear into the heart of the opposition.
The arrival of Raphael Benitez as new Liverpool FC manager triggered a move to Spanish giants True Madrid and a linkup with England colleague David Beckham.
Despite a relatively successful season he was sold to Newcastle United where his appearances have been blighted by injury.
England fans everywhere will be wishing Owen a speedy and productive recovery. England arent blessed with several top quality forwards at the moment and Owens restoration is crucial for their assault on the European Championships in 2008.
Only time will tell if Michael Owen can return to top rated type and fulfil the possible he showed as a young lad. England fans everywhere will be maintaining their fingers crossed. Sven-Goran Erikssons nonsensical squad selections for the Planet Cup left England not only light in the striker division, but also seriously comprised our probabilities of a effective tournament.

But he returned to Liverpool Football Club a national hero and England had identified a striker whose presence on the area could spark worry into the heart of the opposition.
The arrival of Raphael Benitez as new Liverpool FC manager triggered a move to Spanish giants Genuine Madrid and a linkup with England colleague David Beckham.
In spite of a reasonably productive season he was sold to Newcastle United exactly where his appearances have been blighted by injury.
England fans everywhere will be wishing Owen a speedy and successful recovery. England arent blessed with a lot of good quality forwards at the moment and Owens restoration is crucial for their assault on the European Championships in 2008.
