Manchester United striker Michael Owen has been ruled out for the season after tests revealed the extent of the hamstring injury he picked up in last Sunday's Carling Cup final victory over Aston Villa.
The news is a big blow for Owen, who has been plagued by hamstring injuries throughout his career, and ends any slim hopes he had of making a late charge into Fabio Capello's England World Cup squad.
Better news for United is that Owen Hargreaves is set to make his long-awaited comeback in a reserve team encounter next Thursday, having been out since September 2008 with a series of knee problems.
