шаффл как знал - сразу инвинсибл поставил.)THE second operation to repair Newcastle United and England striker Michael Owen's cruciate knee ligament injury has gone "extremely well".
Owen, 26, feared he would miss the entire English Premier League season after rupturing the anterior cruciate knee ligament in his right knee during England's 2-2 draw with Sweden in the World Cup finals during June.
However, the striker can now begin his rehabilitation after US specialist Dr Richard Steadman completed the second stage of a two-part surgery.
Newcastle manager Glenn Roeder was thrilled by the news of Owen's progress.
"I've spoken to our club doctor Roddy MacDonald across in Colorado and he gave me the fantastic news that Michael's operation went extremely well," Roeder was quoted as sayinf on the official Newcastle website.
"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 will make an immediate start to his intensive rehabilitation program in the US before returning to Newcastle next week.
Owen's career at Newcastle has been dogged by injury, as he broke a metatarsal in his right foot at the turn of the year.
He has made just 10 starts for the Magpies - scoring seven goals.
