Bayern midfielder sidelined for 6 weeks

Owen Hargreaves will miss England's Euro 2008 qualifiers against Macedonia and Croatia next month with a broken leg.

Michael Carrick would be an obvious replacement for Hargreaves, although England boss Steve McClaren could return Steven Gerrard to the centre.

Any such move may lead McClaren towards recalling former captain David Beckham.
