Reporter Guo Lei reported that Rooney received a stupid yellow card against Andorra in England and will be suspended from the European Cup qualifiers of Estonia's Three Lions in June, which undoubtedly makes people look forward to Owen's return. How's Owen recovering?
Owen has been resting for nearly 10 months since he was injured in the World Cup last June, and the game between Newcastle and Chelsea on the 22nd of this month is regarded as his comeback. Newcastle had hoped that Owen would play again next season to avoid a summer call-up for the national team.
Call. But now, the magpies who vaguely smell the danger of relegation may need Owen to rescue them as soon as possible.
Newcastle have received compensation of 3.3 million pounds from the insurance company after Owen was injured, but President Shepard still warned the FA that Owen must play for Newcastle first. Before the last league match, head coach Radell expressed implicit dissatisfaction with Owen's low attendance. He claimed that Owen "has a long way to go" before taking part in the competition. "Maybe it is wise to let him not participate in the competition this season, so as to ensure that he can be healthy when the summer training starts on July 5, and we will not risk letting him participate in the competition for the sake of the competition. But in this matter, we will listen to Owen's opinion. "
However, Owen has set his goal as "playing at least 1 game before the end of the season", which is likely to pave the way for his return to the national team. At present, he is making a final sprint before coming back under the guidance of Green, an expert who helped Dell bid farewell to injuries completely. Owen played for 20 minutes in a teaching match last Friday, and there was no adverse reaction. He was also intact after being shoveled by defender Carl. It is said that he will increase the intensity of training this week and resume full training before next Monday. After that, Owen will take part in a teaching competition with hartle Lepp. If all goes well, you will be able to play against Chelsea.
Owen was in a good mood when he appeared at Dubai Racecourse last weekend. Although this caused some unhappiness among Newcastle executives, Owen had some fun with the permission of the coaching staff. Owen said: "I felt a little tight in my calf muscles three or four weeks ago, but I have made great progress now." I hope that the injury will not recur. " I know almost all the technical moves. "
Rod's team's record this season is bleak, which is undoubtedly not worthy of the famous Owen, but the club has made great efforts to build first-class hardware facilities. On Monday, Newcastle officials announced that St. James Park will be expanded from the current 52,000 seats to at least 60,000 seats, and conference centers, hotels and luxury apartments will be built around the stadium, making the stadium and its surrounding areas where the 20 12 Olympic Games will be held a top landmark in Newcastle.
The development project is expected to cost 300 million pounds. Recently, Newcastle just announced a loss of 6.9 million pounds in the first half of the fiscal year. Where can it get huge sums of money? Newcastle claims that the fund will be "completely independent" from the normal budget, but the club's status as a listed company makes it unnecessary for them to disclose who the investors are.
