Owen on the road to recovery

08 December 2009 16:02
Owen sustained the injury against Bradford at the start of November and was forced to miss the next two matches before making his comeback with the aid of a face mask to protect the area.[LNB]The measure proved its worth as he came through okay against Barnet but, having felt discomfort in the 2-2 draw at home to Torquay towards the end of last month, it was decided a minor operation would be needed to stabilise the bones around his cheek.[LNB]The 27-year-old may be in contention for a starting place this weekend as Vale travel to Northampton looking to get back to winning ways.[LNB][LNB]
