Newcastle's Owen not "100% happy" with comeback


Newcastle United striker Michael Owen's return to action yesterday left him feeling "not 100% happy".

Toon caretaker boss Glenn Roeder revealed Owen's fears after he returned as a substitute at Birmingham.
After Owen limped off at the final whistle, Roeder said: "He had the best part of half an hour and when he came in afterwards he was a little bit concerned. He wasn't quite 100% happy with it.
"There was no sharp pain or anything - he described it as dull. He was honest with the medical team in saying he was not 100%.
"The medical department will decide over the weekend what the next step will be. But I have to emphasise Michael is not that concerned."
