Michael Owen out for six weeks

Manchester United striker Michael Owen faces a six-week break from football with a thigh injury.

Manchester United striker Michael Owen has been ruled out of action for six weeks with a thigh injury.

The 31-year-old picked up the problem during United's 2-0 win over Otelul Galati in the Champions League earlier this month.

"Michael has a thigh muscle injury and will be out for six weeks or so," confirmed a club spokesman.

He is now not expected to make a return until the Boxing Day fixture against Wigan Athletic at Old Trafford.

The former Liverpool and Real Madrid frontman joined United on a free transfer in 2009.
