England striker Wayne Rooney may be a doubt for the World Cup after suffering a foot injury for Manchester United in their loss at Chelsea on Saturday.

 

Rooney was stretchered off at Stamford Bridge six weeks to the day before England's opening game of the World Cup against Paraguay on 10 June.

 

The 20-year-old was left clutching his right foot in agony after a challenge by Paulo Ferreira.

 

He broke the same foot against Portugal in the Euro 2004 quarter-final.

 

Rooney is seen as being key to England's hopes at the World Cup in Germany and any concerns over his fitness would add to England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson's injury worries.

 

England striker Michael Owen has been out since New Year's Eve after breaking a bone in his foot against Tottenham Hotspur.

 

Owen is set to make his comeback as a substitute against Newcastle on Saturday but will only have one more Premiership match and England's build-up to the World Cup to increase his sharpness and match fitness.

 

Arsenal central defender Sol Campbell has only just returned after a lengthy spell out while team-mate Ashley Cole is fit again but has not played any first-team football.

 

England and Chelsea centre-back John Terry also picked up an injury in his side's 3-0 win over United but he soldiered on until the end of the game which assured the Blues of the Premiership title.

 

Another of Eriksson's squad in United right-back Gary Neville also appeared to be hobbling in what will have been worrying scenes for Eriksson.

I'm sure you can't mean that - it's in Germany's interests for him to be out!!:thinking:

Anyway............................this is terrible news. He's become England's most important player.

Who took him out - a Portuguese player?? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!:angry:

Sure it's in Germany's interests, but I want to see a World Cup with a lot of football stars, and Rooney is definately one of them. :) It's also always terrible when someone has got an injury. :\

Is it worth it? There'll only be one result!!;)

I'm watching my team lost at the moment....................:(

You are watching Charlton-Bolton, right? ;) I was watching the first-half of it... :( Bolton scored 2 minutes before half-time.

^Not Bolton. That was last week. It's Blackburn!! Same part of the country, though.

Oh, yeah you're right, I meant Blackburn. I knew it began with a B... :D

He's fractured a bone in his foot and needs approx 6 weeks to recover. World Cup is 6 weeks away...........

I really hope rooney doesnt make the world cup and GOD replaces him.

If that wasn't bad enough, it's reported that Owen may have suffered anoter setback, too...............................................................:stunned:

But the last time he was involved was for Maradonna's "hand of God" goal back in 1986........................................;)

Ahh of course. God favours the Argies

Terrible news.

 

There isnt much time left, if it will takes him about the amout of time till England's first match to recover, he probably won't be fully fit.

 

I hope that he will recover soon, I'd love to see him playing in the World Cup.
