Owen has slipped down the striker pecking order under Fabio Capello, due to injuries.
“There may be two or three places up for grabs,” he said.
“Fabio maybe will have a number up to 25 in his mind. He will then have to eliminate from that to make 23.
“Michael Owen has a good chance because he is a striker and England don’t have a tremendous number of them.
“The form of Carlton Cole will have encouraged him and Peter Crouch’s goals don’t do him any harm.
“Along with Wayne Rooney I think those three will go to South Africa, then it is a fight for one more.”
