08.04.2003 - Owen set for Fulham return

---

Michael Owen will make a return to first team action on Saturday, after recovering from a back injury which kept him out of Saturday's defeat to Man United.

Owen is likely to start the match against the Londoners, who were beaten 4-0 at home to Blackburn last night, with Emile Heskey almost certainly partnering him up front.

Meanwhile, Stephane Henchoz is on course to make his comeback in next week's Merseryside derby. The Swiss defender is currently recieving treatment in Switzerland on a calf injury which he originally picked up in the February win over Auxerre.

Henchoz is likely to return to full training next week and will replace Sami Hyypia for the Everton match, with the Liverpool captain due to start a 3 match ban on that day following his Old Trafford red card.
