Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Michael Owen could be out for a month after sustaining a groin injury in training with Newcastle.
The England striker is 50-50 for the clash with Manchester City on Monday.
The in-form striker tweaked a groin in training on Wednesday and faces a scan later today.
And Owen could be out for up to a month if the scan delivers bad news, according to interim manager Joe Kinnear.
He told the Evening Chronicle: "He tweaked his groin in training so he is a big doubt.
"It's 50-50 whether he plays for the Man City match. He is having a scan today.
"Then we will find out more, we are just assessing the situation.
"I am hoping it is not as bad as it looked when he first did it.
"I am hoping it may have calmed down but we are worried that if the scan shows a tear then he could be out for a month.
"Hopefully it won't be but we are in the dark until later on today."
