Wayne Rooney withdraws from England squad, minor knee injury

[CS@SG]

Wayne Rooney has left the England squad and returned to Manchester United.

The striker sat out this morning’s session at Tottenham Hotspur’s training ground as a precaution due to a minor knee injury.

However, with Gareth Southgate already set to rest his captain for the visit of Spain to Wembley Stadium tomorrow night, Rooney has been allowed to return to his club for further assessment.

Left-back Ryan Bertrand, who also missed today’s session, will remain with the Three Lions squad and stays in contention for the fixture against Julen Lopetegui’s side.

If he's out for Arsenal we'll have a very interesting round in the line-ups game. Rasford vs Arsenal 2.0?

I think Fellaini will play striker.

 

[Adam-Utd]

Wonder if he hurt that knee falling over

Are you serious?

pretty sure he's faking the injury so he doesnt get embarrassed by herrera and co, to start against Arsenal.. hopefully he doesn't as it means he would pretty much ruin our chacnes to win the game..

That makes little sense especially given he isnt even a starter for England anymore.

he started games ahead of Mickytaryan and other much better players for the last couple of games, he will find a way to force himself onto the pitch with his name on the back, we know that he will not start all games this season but there will be games in which he starts because you can't unfortunately ignore him

With Kane out he could have bullied the Spanish back line.

Shame.

Yep, he could've bottled 'em.

Be fair he's still a top No9 regardless of his faults.

Sorry I meant Number 2

Shame.

By calling them nasty names maybe?
I don't see how else Rooney can be a bully right now.

Spanish midfield drove him to drink

Talking about England.

Rooney bullying Ramos and Pique?

 

[dichinero]

Ah, just some nonsense! It's not a broken toe, it's a minor knee injury, just take some injections and man up to represent your country as the captain against the best team in the world at home in the grandest stadium of all; the Wembley. Come show these underweight, underpaid Spanish amigos how to spray passes, and tell them how bad their wine is too !

 

[clarkydaz]

Rooney bullying Ramos and Pique?

or made them intoxicated through osmosis

 

[Sparky10Legend]

Jeez, form is temporary, class is permanent.

Wazza is class.

Ouch!

Wazza is class.

Must be the brand of ale he drinks

He bumped into a bar stool

Moyes would have congratulated him for going the extra mile and taking up extra curricular activities with the greatest defender ever (Phil Jagielka).

This is where Rio went wrong.

 

[::sonny::]

No injury, only beers

 

[LFC-Fans]

Crap. That's good news for you if he's out for the Arsenal game... plus Arsenal don't have Bellerin, and Sanchez might not be 100%.

If you're gonna beat them...nows the time

Do you want us to win?

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Do you want us to win?

Liverpool fans will want us to win as Arsenal are a threat just now, we aren't at this moment.

I'm surprised by the number of people in here who are gullible enough to believe in everything the Sun prints. I guess it's the same reason that Trump won the election. If you have an agenda, you'll believe anything to support it no matter how tenuous.
