Last updated : 09 October 2007 By Footy Mad - Editor
Michael Owen: "I was talking to Alan Shearer and he has had three of them.

"In his last one, he was back in 12 days from surgery, but he said he could have probably made it a couple of days earlier.
"
I got back in eight days, which is hopefully a record.

"Craig Bellamy's over there getting surgery now, so we'll see.

"It's a common injury. It's wear and tear, we go out on hard pitches every day and it takes its toll.

"Most footballers end up getting one or both sides done, but I'm feeling better for it now, and thankfully I can go out on to the pitch and not feel any pain.

"It's not like I'm pushing myself to get back and play for England.

"Everyone can see that coming back in eight days to play for my club, shows a bit of determination and I wanted to get out there against Everton.

"I'm feeling good for both teams that I represent."
