Capello sweating on Rooney fitness

FABIO CAPELLO will pick up the phone to make the call he dreaded having to make, hoping to hear some good news from Wayne Rooney.

Manchester United wasted no time in getting a medical assessment on the ankle injury their star man suffered against Bayern Munich on Tuesday night.

After waiting patiently on the Finnair flight that brought him back to England for his fellow passengers to disembark, Rooney limped off, with the aid of his crutches, straight to a waiting car that whisked him off for a scan.
