Quote:
Newcastle and England striker Michael Owen has broken a bone in his foot and will be sidelined for several months.
The 26-year-old fractured his fifth metatarsal during the Magpies' 2-0 defeat at Tottenham on New Year's Eve.
He is not expected to be a doubt for the World Cup finals in Germany this summer but his absence from Premiership action is a major blow to Newcastle.
In a further piece of bad news for the club, keeper Shay Given has suffered a suspected broken thumb.
Republic of Ireland international Given has been one of Newcastle's most consistent performers this season.
It is unclear at this stage what injury the keeper has suffered.
