OWEN'S DEAD BACK

Last updated : 03 April 2003 By Editor
Owen was substituted in the second half last night, and the
injury he sustained may keep him out of Saturday’s game.

Speaking on the Liverpool website he said:

“I got a knee in my back in the first half and it stiffened
up,

“I probably should have come off at halftime to be honest
but I carried on. I then fell on my back in the second half
and couldn't continue.

“It remains to be seen whether I'm fit to play on Saturday.
It normally takes a couple of days to recover from a dead
leg but this is a dead back. I've never had a dead back
before.”
