United fly to Palma on Wednesday for their two-game tournament against Hertha Berlin and hosts Real Mallorca.

Owen has had a bout of mumps and has not trained with the rest of his colleagues on the training ground, but he has also had a bit of calf trouble.

Keegan says Owen will be ready for the friendly with PSV Eindhoven at St James's Park a week on Wednesday ... suggesting the England international will miss the trip to Spain.

Kegan: "We will look at Michael and decide whether it is best to leave him behind to work on his fitness and then look at playing him against either Valencia or PSV.

"That's a decision we will make tonight or tomorrow.

"James Milner will definitely go even though he's had his wisdom teeth out and has gone four days with no training."
