Owen's Knee Surgery Successful
(Goal.com) - Newcastle United's Michael Owen has successfully undergone surgery in America on his ruptured cruciate knee ligament.
The England striker sustained the injury in the opening minutes of his country's World Cup tie against Sweden in June, and is now expected to miss most, and possibly all, of this season.
However, he can at least now commence his rehabilitation programme following the operation, which was performed by renowned specialist Dr Richard Steadman.
The Magpies' manager, Glenn Roeder, told the club's official website: "Our club doctor Roddy Macdonald is in Colorado and told me the operation went extremely well.
"As far as Michael is concerned, he can now start to focus on playing again.
"It's going to be a long haul but he can start to focus on that.
"And I look forward to the day when I can write his name on a Newcastle United teamsheet."
Owen broke a bone in his foot at the turn of the year and scarcely played again until the World Cup, when he sustained the latest serious injury.
And surgery on the ruptured ligament had to be delayed because Owen then needed an operation to repair cartilage damage on the same knee in July.

If Owen has any brains at all he would walk away from soccer all together. It seems everytime he walks onto the pitch he gets injured. He's worth millions already as it is so he should just bow out while he can still walk & go do something else.
