Owen
was out for close to a season for Newcastle
Newcastle could receive up to £100,000 per week in compensation
during the period their striker Michael Owen is out with
injury.
Owen suffered a thigh strain during England's 1-0 win over Austria
last Friday that will rule him out of action for about four
weeks.
The Football Association said its insurance policy would cover the
costs.
"This figure can be up to £100,000 a week but it is not the FA who
pay this money out," said an FA spokesman.
Newcastle were embroiled in a war of words with the FA over
compensation during Owen's almost season-long absence after he
sustained knee ligament damage during the 2006 World Cup.
The Magpies eventually received £6m from the FA, world football
governing body Fifa and their insurer.
Sad news , Owen should be playing against former club Liverpool
, it would be great to see Owen back at Anfield since he joined
Newcastle Utd .
Next season liao .....
