Michael Owen asked if he's "alright" after showing "disrespect" to footballers

dailystar.co.uk:

Real Madrid and Liverpool forward, 42, sparked online outrage on Wednesday evening for appearing to suggest that concussion was just a "bump and a bang" on the head.The discussion arose following a clash of heads between Lisandro Martinez and Nicolas Otamendi with the Ajax defender clearly affected by the collision, but he opted to carry on playing.

Fellow pundit Chris Sutton was quick to interject on Owen's comments: "Hang on a minute, concussion is a bump and a bang? How do you know that is not a concussion?"Now Carlton Cole has also blasted the ex-England star for his comments on concussion with a fierce response on social media."Was Michael Owen feeling alright last night on that panel," tweeted the former West Ham striker."Wow!

Got everything completely wrong. Very disrespectful and shows very little respect for fellow pros. "Smh [shake my head]."HAVE YOUR SAY!
