Michael Owen says he will never turn his back on England - he can't ever since jarring it while mucking out a stable.

"I was in every squad for over a decade and all of a sudden it stopped one day. There's a scar there that still hurts a bit," said Manchester United's Owen, who doesn't expect it to keep him sidelined for more than a month.

Owen says he is no longer part of Fabio Capello's plans and that's something at the age of 31 you wouldn't expect him to accept - that Capello has plans.

Hills have Owen at 16-1 to make it into England's Euro 2012 squad and quote an unmissable 9-4 he scores more league goals this season than Man City workhorse Owen Hargreaves. The little striker is 5-4 with Hills to get on the scoresheet against Basle tonight.
