Manchester United striker Michael Owen still has ambitions of being a part of Fabio Capello's England squad for next summer's World Cup in South Africa.
Owen has found opportunities under Capello almost non-existent, but claims that he knows what he must do to win a place in the side.
"It's obviously nice to see England doing so well, but unfortunately every time a squad comes along I seem to have picked up a slight injury, like this time," Owen told Sky Sports News.
"Even though I'm back to fitness now and at Newcastle I was maybe a bit out of form, there has always been a reason. There's no excuses, I just need to play well for my club and score a few goals.
"I've always been optimistic. I've never changed as a player. I will always score goals and I have got the record to show that. I think everyone knows what they will get from me and I have proven that at World Cups before.
"The last thing I want to do is start a campaign and say all the reasons why I could be or should be involved, I'm at ease with myself and the situation. I know what I've got to do and that's play well for Man Utd.
"There is plenty more to life if I'm not picked in the England squad. I'm playing for a top, top team playing for top honours, so we will see where it takes us."
Owen has also not discussed the situation directly with Capello, as he feels that there would be little point with the situation as clear as it is.
"Not about the situation recently, but I don't need to. I know the situation," he added.
"I need to play well and score goals for Man Utd. If I do that then I could get picked.
"But I don't lie awake at night thinking about it. It's a simple equation, play well and you will be in, don't play well and you won't be in."
