Owen has so far managed only 53 minutes of action for the Potters since joining in September, but Stoke assistant manager Dave Kemp is confident the former England man will prove to be a valuable asset.
Dave Kemp: "It is frustrating but you just have to accept these things, there's no point dwelling on it.
"If he's not available then you have to move on and work with the players that are available.
"We know the qualities he has and we hope he can produce them for Stoke City."
While at St James' Park, Owen missed two-thirds of Newcastle's fixtures, and his goals cost (with his transfer fee, wages and add-ons) the Geordie club £1,300 EACH!
