Premiership: Owen facing scan on possible fracture
Liverpool today moved to calm fears that England striker Michael Owen may have fractured his foot during the Champions League defeat at Bayer Leverkusen.
The 22-year-old received a kick on his foot during the 4-2 loss in Germany and will have a scan later today to determine the extent of the damage.
Reds manager Gerard Houllier told the club’s official website, www.liverpoolfc.tv: ‘‘We hope it is not a fracture but he will have a scan later today and we will have a better idea then.’’
However, a club spokesman insisted that the problem was severe bruising but he may miss Saturday’s match at Sunderland.
