Owen to have "pre-hernia" procedure

Michael Owen was in Munich yesterday for a consultation with Ulrike Muschaweck, the pioneering hernia specialist who has been booked to operate on the England striker's troublesome groin.

Sam Allardyce, Owen's manager at Newcastle United, says the forward is facing double surgery by Muschaweck, who must repair a tear in his abductor muscle and carry out a "pre-hernia", stomach-strengthening procedure designed to stop the likely development of a full-blown hernia.
