Rooney may not get Premiership games before England tie

EVERTON could be heading for more controversy over their handling of Wayne Rooney – just days ahead of England’s crunch trip to Turkey.

There is now the prospect that 17-year-old Rooney may not have had a full first-team game for three weeks prior to the showdown in Istanbul.

Rooney has been left on the bench for the last two Everton games, and there must now be a doubt whether boss David Moyes will use the youngster from the start at Tottenham on Saturday.
