England secured a straightforward 1-0 friendly win over Euro 2008 co-hosts Austria last night but suffered the more significant loss of Michael Owen to injury.
Already without Wayne Rooney for Wednesday's potentially decisive Euro 2008 Group E qualifier against Croatia, England saw striker Owen leave the pitch in Vienna after 34 minutes.
He suffered a thigh strain which is set to rule him out of Wednesday's game at Wembley Stadium.
Owen's strike partner Peter Crouch scored the only goal a minute before half-time when he headed home a David Beckham corner.
Other result: France 2 (Govou 15; Nasri 74) Morocco 2 (Sektioui 8; Mokhtari 84).
