Rooney lift, Neville blow for England

Wayne Rooney is “match fit” but Sven-Goran Eriksson has yet to decide if he could play against Trinidad and Tobago tomorrow.

And the England coach revealed Gary Neville is a major doubt for the World Cup group match in Nuremberg with a calf strain.

Rooney has recovered from a broken metatarsal but it remains to be seen if Eriksson is ready to plunge the Manchester United striker back into action in the Frankenstadion.

Neville pulled out of training only 15 minutes into England’s final session today and was set to undergo a scan this afternoon.

The 31-year-old spent a couple of minutes on the sidelines before heading down the players’ tunnel at the stadium with England physio Gary Lewin.

Owen Hargreaves or Jamie Carragher could step in for Neville if he does not recover in time.
