Rooney facing England World Cup KO

Wayne Rooney has been ruled out of action for at least three weeks, sparking fears he may miss England’s World Cup qualifier against Wales on October 9.

Rooney completed his £27m (€39.5m) switch from Everton to Manchester United last week in the belief he would be fit to face the Welsh as he continued his recovery from the broken foot he suffered during this summer’s European Championships.
