Man Utd striker Owen: The injury is fine

Manchester United striker Michael Owen says he'll be back in training on Monday.

Owen limped out of Wednesday's Champions League win over Wolfsburg after only 19 minutes.

But the striker says he avoided further damage by recognising the warning signs.

He said: "The injury is fine. I just felt my groin going tight and if I'd kept on playing, then I think I would've pulled it. So I came off before I pulled up.

"Instead of being out for three or four weeks, I'm only going to be out for three or four days. You listen to your body a bit more as you get older and more experienced!"
