Keegan: "I'm sure Michael is ready for England. Have you seen his goal record - 88 games, 40 goals? It's incredible.

"He is fit, he is very fit now. Because he has not scored in the games for which I have been here until today, big names make big stories.

"Michael has worked really hard really hard today, but also in all the games since I have been here, and I don't think people have given him the credit for that.

"I have said publicly I don't think we have supplied him with enough chances, and that's the truth. If I as a manager am saying it, it is what we are thinking as a team.

"I wouldn't worry about Michael Owen. He will get goals - he always has and he always will - if you give him some chances."
