Football injuries have make the headlines this morning as Michael Owen's relatively faint hopes of a place in England's World Cup squad are surely dashed with the news that he is out for the rest of Manchester United's season with a damaged hamstring. Arsenal's manager Arsene Wenger says he stands "100% by what he said" about the circumstances of the double fracture to the right leg of his player Aaron Ramsey last weekend. He still believes the challenge of Stoke's Ryan Shawcross was "horrendous and unacceptable".
