Sir Alex Ferguson has today confirmed that Michael Owen will be out for the rest of the season after picking up a leg injury in the League Cup final last Sunday. Owen's injury is more serious than we thought and requires an operation on Monday.
"It's a bad blow for Michael and he's out for the season," Ferguson said. "It was more serious than we thought and he'll have an operation on Monday morning.
"It's a terrible blow for the lad and disappointing for us, too. He never missed a training session all season. The heavy pitch at Wembley played some part, but it's also bad luck."
