Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has today confirmed that striker Michael Owen will miss the rest of the season.
The forward is set to undergo an operation on the damaged hamstring he sustained in Sunday's League Cup final win over Aston Villa, in which he netted the Red Devils' first goal.
"Unfortunately it's bad blow with Michael Owen," Ferguson told United's official website.
"He’s out for the season. It’s more serious than we thought.
"He gets operated on on Monday morning. It’s a terrible blow for the lad and disappointing for us too. He's never missed a training session all season. I think the heavy pitch at Wembley played some part, but it’s also bad luck."
