歐文日前表示他不認為自己還能在2006年參加任何比賽，但是他迫切的希望自己的隊友能將大力神盃捧回家。他説“我真誠地祝福我的隊友們，而我自己肯定不會再參加2006年的任何一場比賽了。沒有人能準確的預測我什麼時候能完全恢復，但我想這至少需要6個月的時間吧。當我倒地不起的時候，我的家人就知道我一定傷得不輕。我的媽媽、妻子和姐姐焦急的在更衣室等著我，但當時我自己還是比較冷靜的。當我想到紐卡斯爾的工作人員,尤其是主席謝菲德，他在我身上投資了那麼多錢，以及經理格蘭恩-羅德，從世界盃開始他就一直非常支持我。當我想到他們的時候我真的覺得對不起他們。當然還有那些只看到我11場比賽的球迷朋友。”

　　Michael Owen has said that he does not expect to play again in 2006 -- but is urging his England team-mates to bring him back a FIFA World Cup winners' medal.

　　Owen flew home after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in Tuesday's 2-2 Group B draw with Sweden in Cologne.

　　In his column in The Times newspaper, the Newcastle striker said: "My best wishes go with the rest of the lads but I won't be playing competitive football again in 2006.

　　"No one can predict exactly how long I will be out with a ruptured cruciate ligament in my right knee but it probably means at least six months.

　　"When I didn't get up, my family knew it was serious and they were waiting for me by the dressing-room. My mum, wife and sister were obviously upset seeing me lie there with my knee swelling up like a balloon but I do have the ability to be quite philosophical about these things.

　　"I have been called cold in the past and, at times like this, it is a real strength. I can control my emotions and I can honestly say that when I was flat on my back with ice-packs around my knee, it wasn't self-pity I was feeling but guilt.

　　"I feel really guilty when I think of the people at Newcastle United, the chairman, Freddy Shepherd, who has invested all that money, and Glenn Roeder, the manager, who has kept in touch through the tournament and been very supportive. And those great fans who have only seen me for 11 matches."
