Michael Owen has been reported as being "not 100% happy" with his foot after returning from injury for Newcastle.

Newcastle caretaker boss Glenn Roeder revealed Owen's fears after he returned as a substitute at Birmingham.
Rooney left Stamford Bridge on crutches having injured the same foot that he broke at Euro 2004.

After Owen limped off at the final whistle, Roeder said: "He had the best part of half an hour and when he came in afterwards he was a little bit concerned. He wasn't quite 100% happy with it.

"There was no sharp pain or anything - he described it as dull. He was honest with the medical team in saying he was not 100%.

He added: "The medical department will decide over the weekend what the next step will be. But I have to emphasise Michael is not that concerned."

The fitness of the strikers will be Eriksson's prime concern over the next few weeks, but there are also worries over other players.

Arsenal central defender Sol Campbell has only just returned after a lengthy spell out while team-mate Ashley Cole is fit again but has not played any first-team football.

England and Chelsea centre-back John Terry also picked up an injury in his side's 3-0 win over United but he soldiered on until the end of the game which assured the Blues of the Premiership title.

Chelsea manager John Terry said after the match that Terry had taken a kick to the shin but it was not serious.

"Rooney's tackle on John Terry was a very nasty one but he will have 10 stitches and be ready in one week," said Mourinho.

United right-back Gary Neville also appeared to be hobbling and may yet develop into another concern for Eriksson.

And fellow full-back Wayne Bridge, who is on loan at Fulham from Chelsea, is playing on despite struggling with a tight hamstring.
