This morning’s Sunday Sun is leading with the story of Michael Owen’s early Newcastle comeback. According to the paper, Owen’s American surgeon has given the striker a thumbs up to a March training return, looking to put the Black and White shirt on again and run out at St James Park mid-April. On Owen, Magpies manager Glenn Roeder said:
“At worst, Michael is on schedule. Potentially, he is ahead of schedule. He got a scan sent over to Dr Steadman in Colorado to have a look at.
“He looked at the scan and is absolutely delighted. The knee is in pristine condition. He gave Michael the good news over the telephone.
“But the news about the scan this week just rubber stamped how Michael feels the knee is itself in terms of stability. He feels good.
“The scan has confirmed that and will have given him great belief.”
