Owen: I'd jump at England recall
Manchester United striker Michael Owen accepts he is not part of Fabio Capello's plans but insists he will never turn his back on England.[LNB] The former Liverpool striker quickly fell out of favour when Capello took over as national team boss in 2008, with injuries also undermining his chances of a recall. But 31-year-old Owen - who has 89 caps and 40 goals - still shows his class when opportunities arise and scored in United's midweek Carling Cup win at Leeds.[LNB]And he admits he would seize his chance should Capello change his mind.[LNB]Owen told the Observer: "I was in every squad for over a decade and all of a sudden it stopped one day.[LNB]"I would never turn my back on it, but obviously there's a scar there that still hurts a bit. But I don't get upset now when I'm not in the squad, like I used to.[LNB]"If I got a call-up I'd be there within five minutes.[LNB]"Fabio Capello picked his first squad and I was on the bench. I thought: 'This might be a sign that he doesn't fancy me.' The next time I wasn't in the squad, and that's just been that."[LNB]
