Owen out till march after foot operation

Surgeons carried out an operation on Michael Owen's broken toe - but Newcastle's injury problems are increasing still further.

The England striker had an operation at a Manchester hospital where a pin was inserted into the fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot.

The operation is understood to have gone successfully.

But Owen, who suffered the fracture on New Year's Eve at Tottenham, will be out for 10 weeks.
