Last updated : 17 June 2004 By Al Campbell
Owen had a quiet game against the French on Sunday but Eriksson says the player has the ability to make a major impact on the Euro 2004 finals.

"I have faith in Michael Owen and I'm quite sure he will play even better against Switzerland than he did against the French on Sunday." said the Swede.

"He is working very hard and looks happy. He looks sharp and I am confident in him. I think he still has many goals in him. The tournament is long- hopefully!"
