Think he should be safe for the world cup, though would be more worried if it was Rooney- he’s the forward most teams will fear the most during next summer I feel. Which works well in our favour as that should take the pressure off Owen to do what he does- score goals.
I believe this is the 4th Engald player in 18 months to break their meta tarsal? (Rooney, Beckham, Owen and one other!!)- there are several theories on the causes of this around the new studs (the blade ones) and the light weight boots which offer less protection than the thick cow hides I used to play in?
