Newcastle boss Glenn Roeder has admitted injured striker Michael Owen may not play at all this season. Owen, 26, ruptured his anterior cruciate knee ligament in England's 2-2 draw against Sweden at the recent World Cup and is set to have an operation.
"It's a long term injury. I don't know if he'll play again this season," Roeder told BBC Radio Newcastle.
"He's getting the best possible treatment and will have the best surgeon in the world operating on him."
Roeder added: "Michael has an injury that will take a fair bit of time to repair. If we put a date on it and we say that he'll be back by next March, and then he's not fit, then it will cause more problems."
Owen's cruciate ligament surgery had been delayed until September because he required an operation to repair cartilage damage on his injured right knee in July.
The England international, who signed for Newcastle from Real Madrid for £17m in August 2005, missed most of the second half of the 2005-06 season with a broken foot.

I feel he will never pull an England shirt on again. Bobby Charltons scoring record will stay intact for a few more years yet!

It mkes no difference really, Newcaastle knew from the moment he went down in the World Cup that they'd have to prepare for life without him up front. If he's out for an extra month or so that doesn't change how Newcastle need to prepare.

He should just retire, he'll come back get arsed lick and role round injured again
Personally I'm getting fed up with those Goerdies complaining about bad luck with injuries. It's like FFS they knew before they splashed out £18m on him how injury prone he was, they have themselves to blame and not luck
