Petrov to miss Newcastle clash

Newcastle striker Michael Owen has been ruled out of Monday's Premier League clash against Manchester City after suffering a groin strain. The Magpies, however, could be boosted by the return of Habib Beye (Achilles) and Jonas Gutierrez (fractured collarbone), who are both fit. Striker Obafemi Martins (knee) is rated at 50-50, but Joey Barton is still suspended and Mark Viduka (Achilles) and Alan Smith (stress fracture) are both on the injury list. Manchester City winger Martin Petrov will miss the away clash against Newcastle after picking up knee ligament damage. Petrov faces a spell on the sidelines after sustaining the injury while on international duty with Bulgaria, and defender Pablo Zabaleta also is ruled out through suspension. Robinho suffered a minor knock during Brazil's match agains Colombia, but he has been passed fit to play.

FA: No decision on Cup base

The Football Association has denied reports it has already identified England's training camp for the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa. The national governing body has insisted the priority is still ensuring that Fabio Capello's side qualify for the finals after missing out on Euro 2008.
An FA statement read: "Further to a newspaper report, the FA can confirm that no hotel or
training camp has been chosen or identified as the preferred base for the England team.
"At this stage the team management want the focus to centre on each qualifying match as we play it. "We fully understand there is a long way to go in the qualifying group. However, like all other countries we have to plan ahead, so we are ready. "When the team management do visit South Africa, we will provide numerous options to consider. They would need to factor in altitude and climate."
