Newcastle United striker Michael Owen is facing a clouded England future under manager Fabio Capello.
"I hope the manager knows what I'm about," Owen said. "I am sure he has seen me play - he has watched videos. I missed a lot of qualifying for Euro 2008 through my cruciate knee ligament injury but when I came back I played quite well and scored a couple against Russia and one against Israel and Estonia."
Asked to explain what Capello was trying to achieve in Paris, Owen laughed: "You ask him."
