Michael Owen out for the season and the world cup

Manchester United striker Michael Owen's World Cup dream is over as he has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a hamstring injury. 

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed the striker would miss the rest of the campaign after suffering the injury in the Carling Cup final victory over Aston Villa last Sunday. 

Owen, who scored in the Wembley final, had admitted before the injury that he was a "long shot" to make Fabio Capello's World Cup squad - but any hope he had of making it to South Africa now appears to have gone.

"It's a bad blow - he's out for the season," Ferguson said. "Unfortunately it's more serious than we thought. He will be operated on on Monday morning. 

"It's a terrible blow for the lad and is disappointing news for us too.

"He has never missed a training session all season. "I think the heavy pitch at Wembley on Sunday made some contribution to it but really it is just bad luck
