Owen may play in testimonial
Newcastle striker Michael Owen could play some part in Alan Shearer's testimonial on Thursday night as he bids for World Cup fitness.
The 26-year-old was again absent from the matchday 16 a week after making his comeback from a five-month lay-off with a fractured metatarsal as the Magpies clinched seventh place in the Premiership with victory over Chelsea. He was not expected to play a significant role against Celtic on Thursday evening, but caretaker boss Glenn Roeder admitted if he felt it would be to Owen's benefit, he would play.
"That will be left down to Michael completely now," he said. "If between the medical team and Michael, they thought there was any mileage in giving him a short run-out, that would happen. But if they didn't, he wouldn't take part."
