Peter Crouch’s headed goal was enough to give England victory over Austria in Vienna but their win was marred by an injury to striker Michael Owen.
Owen limped off in the first half after suffering a thigh strain and will miss next Wednesday’s potentially crucial Euro 2008 qualifier against Croatia.
Crouch grabbed his goal on the stroke of half-time when he headed in David Beckham’s corner from the left.
Crouch also missed with a header in the second half as the match petered out.
England will now prepare for their final Euro 2008 qualifier hoping that by the time they step out on to the pitch to face Croatia their dreams of returning to Austria are still alive.
