Michael Owens career has been full of set backs due to injuries.

England striker Michael Owen is likely to miss Newcastle's Barclays Premier League opener at Bolton next Saturday.

Owen, whose career on Tyneside has been beset by injuries, played just three times for the Magpies last term and has made just 14 appearances since his transfer from Real Madrid in December 2005.

The injury has already wrecked the 27-year-old's pre-season programme.

The latest setback also puts in doubt Owen's participation in England's friendly with Germany at Wembley on 22 August.
