Re: Shrek Rooney to miss England group ties Rooney had the scan in Manchester Wayne Rooney will definitely miss England's World Cup group stage games - after a scan revealed he cannot train for at least another three weeks. Rooney's club, Manchester United, confirmed the 20-year-old will require another scan on 14 June to determine when he can return to action. If the striker's broken metatarsal is given the all-clear, he would have 10 days to get fit for a last-16 tie. England have to decide by 9 June whether to replace Rooney in the squad.
well i think sven was expecting this and gave carrick a full run out last night as hes going to be the holding midfielder in a 4-1-3-1 formation with stevie g playing just behind owen which i think will work well !
