Manchester United striker Michael Owen could be out of action for up to three weeks after injuring his groin in the Champions League win over Wolfsburg.
Owen limped out of Wednesday’s 2-1 Group B victory after only 20 minutes.
England boss Fabio Capello was in the crowd but the injury looks to have ended Owen’s chances of being selected for the match in Ukraine on 10 October.
"Groin injuries are difficult to say. He could be out two or three weeks," said United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
"His fitness levels are good so we shouldn’t need to worry too much about it. We will treat it as a normal groin injury."
Ferguson also revealed that Owen had been troubled by his groin prior to the match.
