Fabio Capello waits on Wayne Rooney
ENGLAND face an anxious wait to see if Wayne Rooney will be fit to spearhead their attack in Friday week’s Euro 2012 qualifier with Montenegro.
Wayne Rooney missed Manchester United’s stalemate with Stoke on Saturday due to a hamstring injury and will be absent for tonight’s Champions League tie with FC Basle and Sir Alex Ferguson was vague about when he would return to fitness.
“It’s difficult to assess. We hope we get him back quickly. He did a bit of jogging this morning but that’s all,” said Ferguson, with Chris Smalling (groin) also a doubt.
