Keegan: Owen Will Win 100 Caps!
Keegan: "Michael probably publicly will say, 'New manager, these things happen'. But privately, he will be disappointed because he has lost the chance to get his 89th cap.
"He is going to get 100 caps for England, which was the other big talking point with David Beckham.
"He has got 40 goals in that time. He is a trailblazer as far as goalscoring goes for England.
"Yes, he will be disappointed, but Michael is very mature and he is a realist. He knows he is probably not going to play every game, and at the start of a new regime managers will want to look at the whole squad.
"He (Capello) will know Michael and he won't have known some of the others as well so maybe he used that opportunity to do look at them.
"Your form for your club does make a difference, but with people like Michael Owen, his record is there.
"You know if he is fit and he is scoring goals for his club, he is going to take that into the international arena because he has done it 40 times already.
"I always believe in football, the cream always rises to the top, so Michael will be back.
"The best way for him to take advantage of that is to try to just let the manager know he is here and he is playing well - which he is - and he is scoring goals.
"Long may that continue. I know when I was left out of the England squad by Bobby Robson, I scored four goals away at Rotherham in the next game.
"I am not saying Michael is going to score four, but that's the sort of reaction you will get from people like Michael Owen. All their lives, they have proved people wrong."
