Michael Owen will go for a scan today after injuring his groin in training.
Joe Kinnear fears he may be out for up to a month.
"He tweaked his groin in training so he is a big doubt. It’s 50-50 whether he plays for the Man City match. He is having a scan today. Then we will find out more, we are just assessing the situation."
"I am hoping it is not as bad as it looked when he first done it. I am hoping it may have calmed down but we are worried that if the scan shows a tear then he could be out for a month."
"Hopefully it won’t be but we are in the dark until later on today."
