Rooney facing another scan

Wayne Rooney has been told he will not discover when he can resume training for another three weeks.

In what appears to be a potentially fatal blow to Rooney’s chances of appearing at least in the group stage of this summer’s World Cup, Manchester United have released a statement saying they are satisfied with his period of recovery but confirmed he will require another scan on June 14 to determine when he can start training again.

“A further CT scan will be performed in Manchester on June 14 to assess further his recovery and a decision will then be made as to whether he can begin to participate in football training,” said the statement.
