Norway defender labels new England skipper Rooney ‘chubby’

England skipper Wayne Rooney was branded "a bit chubby" by Norway defender Vegard Forren ahead of tonight’s friendly.

Rooney was unveiled as the new England captain last week despite an underwhelming performance at this summer’s World Cup, which saw the striker score only one goal.

Norway are placed 53rd in the Fifa world rankings, 33 spots below England, but Forren insists he will not be afraid of his opponents at Wembley.
