The striker Michael Owen will not be able to play for several weeks due to a calf injury suffered during training.

One of the most prolific England national football team players of all time has not played since October 2, when he was substituted in the match against Sunderland.

The 30-year-old Owen recently returned to training after a groin injury and was supposed to appear in Tuesday's match against Wolverhampton, but was forced to watch from the sidelines.
