http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/7009480.stm Michael Owen admits he does not expect to be fit for England's double-header of Euro 2008 qualifiers in October. Newcastle boss Sam Allardyce has suggested the striker could be back for next weekend's clash with Everton after recovering from a stomach injury. But Owen, 27, told the News of the World he remains more cautious. He said: "Medical advice will decide how quickly I'll be back but I'd rather remain cautious than set unrealistic targets. I don't want to tempt fate." "In in the back of my mind, before I had the surgery, I had focused on Newcastle's 22 October Premier League game against Tottenham - the first after the international break - for a possible return," Owen said. "Anything before that, including England's two Euro qualifiers against Estonia and Russia, would be a bonus. "I shall cling to the hope I can play for England but people must accept that Newcastle have to come first at the moment. "They pay my wages and I have missed far too many games since joining them to put them at the back of the queue as far as priorities go. "I know it is going to be the subject of national debate as to whether I will be fit to help England qualify for next year's European Championship finals but let's adopt a little bit of caution and see how the next 10 days unfold." --- 他總算發現了球隊付他很多錢然後他幾乎沒打幾場比賽的事實了....T__T 他以前最讓人詬病的就是受傷缺陣他幾乎都不太care,然後一心只想著報國 雖然想也知道這是場面話,但好歹球迷看了不會像之前那麼不爽.... --
