Manchester United striker Michael Owen hasn't given up on returning to the England national team.
The 30-year-old boasts 89 international appearances but has seldom featured in national manager Fabio Capello's plans with his last international cap coming in March 2008.
A shocking run of injuries have no doubt played their part in Owen's exile from the national squad, although the former Liverpool and Real Madrid ace appears to have overcome his most recent groin problem.
And despite Wayne Rooney, Jermain Defoe and Darren Bent all being ahead of him in the national team pecking order, Owen believes he can still make an impact at international level.
"I've got 89 caps so far. I played for England for many years, starting when I was 18," Owen said.
"I played basically right the way through until about two years ago, which was my last game. So hopefully I will play for them again one day, you never know."
Owen is also desperate to force his way back into a regular position with the Red Devils, but said he doesn't blame injuries for where his career is at.
"I've had my fair share (of injuries) but also had plenty of games," he said.
"When I look back and see the amount of matches I have played at club level, international level, I do not feel harshly treated by too many injuries."
"I get in about 9am. I do all my preparation work for training for 45 minutes. I see the physio and we make sure everything is in the right place and moving right. Then we start all together at 9.45."
