Owen ready for Magpies return

Michael Owen will return to the Newcastle squad for Saturday's Premier League home clash with Aston Villa after recovering from a thigh injury. There is more good news for Toon manager Sam Allardyce as Owen could be joined on the bench by Turkish midfielder Emre, who has also returned to full training after an ankle complaint.

But Allardyce must still do without goalkeeper Shay Given (groin), Damien Duff (ankle), Joey Barton (metatarsal) and Celestine Babayaro for his first home game as Magpies boss.

Kick-off at St James' Park is at 5.15pm.

Newcastle (from): Harper, Carr, N'Zogbia, Rozehnal, Taylor, Solano, Milner, Geremi, Butt, Smith, Viduka, Martins, Ameobi, Owen, Ramage, Pattison, Cacapa, Enrique, Emre.
