:hap2: Wayne Rooney :hap2:
.....thats the name on everybody's lips
hyeah: not only in England but all across the Globe....following his injury during the Barclays Premiership match between Chelsea and Manchester United at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 29 April......in which he broke the fourth metatarsal of his right foot following a challenge by Paulo Ferreira...... Doctors have said tat Rooney must rest his foot for atleast six weeks,& technically meaning he could return for England’s opening World Cup match against Paraguay on June 10 in Frankfurt, but in reality leaving him with little chance of being fit.......ManUnited's website said:Wayne Rooney has a fracture of the base of the fourt metatarsal on his right foot. He will be out for six weeks
Metatarsal Haunts England Again
If U guys remember, Rooney broke the same foot in England's Euro 2004 exit to Portugal and it took up to 10 weeks for him to recover and the metatarsal injury is the same one that kept Gary Neville out of the same tournament and wrecked David Beckham's preparations for the 2002 World Cup in Korea Japan last time........
A Carrer Just Started and Such Big Hopes....
Rooney is the youngest ever player to play for England & as of 2 March 2006, he has played for England only 29 times and but has scored 11 international goals....:hap2: :hap2: .Hailed as the best English player since the 1966 squad that won the World Cup, Rooney is more than the team’s key player, he is a talisman........and grt people have touted him as the leading young talents in world football......:clap:
Sir Alex Ferguson said:
.......England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson had gone a step further by comparing his impact to that made by the legendary Brazilian, Pelé at a similar age during the 1958 World Cup & this comparison has led to him being nicknamed "El Pelé Blanco" - the white Pelé - some fans.....George Best said:
So who wont have great hopes from this kid.......he was the player on whom England’s hopes of World Cup success were pinned but after breaking a bone in his right foot & almost certainly out of the World Cup.......England's hopes surely have suffered a potentially shattering World Cup blow ..........
Owen still struggling
Adding to Eriksson's problems are doubts over the fitness of Rooney's striker partner Michael Owen, who played his first match this year for Newcastle on Saturday after injuring his foot on December 31.........
Owen had came on as a second-half substitute in the 0-0 draw at Birmingham and played for half an hour, but admitted tat he was still 'not happy' with the injury as he was feelin bit sore...But Newcastle boss Glenn Roeder insisted tat Owen is not a doubt for the World Cup....
Newcastle boss Glenn Roeder said:
England could surely have had another injury worry
.......after Chelsea's England centre-half John Terry survived an injury worry when he was caught by Rooney's studs in the first 10 minutes of the Stamford Bridge match and required 10 stitches to a cut on his lower right foot........But Terry continued playing but was walking on crutches after the match and is unlikely to feature in the champions' penultimate match of the season at Blackburn during the week......But Terry was more concerned for his England team-mate Rooney than his injury as he knew tat he was out then England go to Germany with a MatchWinner back home......
John Terry said:
But England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson is poised to take striker Wayne Rooney to the World Cup, despite his broken foot.
"Wayne is a world-class player and we will give him every chance to play in the World Cup; with such a huge talent you have to do that," said Eriksson.
He insisted England were "one of four or five teams who can win the World Cup and this will not change that".
But United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has other plans & he has told Eriksson tat the club will have the final say on whether Rooney goes to the World Cup after the Swede said he would give the striker "every chance" to play in the finals.United coach Alex Ferguson said it was a "wild dream'' for Eriksson to suggest Rooney could be fit to play in the quarterfinals of the showpiece.
"We have to make sure we do not build up people's expectation, which is what is happening at the moment," Ferguson said.
"Sven Goran Eriksson saying he will take Wayne to Germany fit or not was something we didn't want to hear."
And Ferguson also said he was unhappy with the burden of expectation placed upon Rooney.He said tat other senior & more experienced players such as David Beckham, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, John Terry, Rio Ferdinand and Gary Neville, should be taking the mantle....rather than having the pressure laid on the 20yr-old Lad......He said tat if England don't have Wayne Rooney,then they will need to look at getting inspiration from other players ....Sir Alex Ferguson said:
But Eriksson is determined & has pledged to name a 26-man squad ,with Rooney sure on the list, on May 8 before cutting three names from the list for the final Fifa deadline a week later.........
But there is good news......:clap: :clap:
World Football ruling body FIFA will allow England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson to name Rooney in his 23-man squad on May 15 and replace him as late as June 9 if he isn't fit, the Telegraph reported, citing FIFA spokesman Andreas Herren.
Cause of Injury: Rooney's Slippers -Total 90 Supremacy :huh: :huh:
Current question among all England football fans after star player, Wayne Rooney, broke the fourth metatarsal bone on his right foot, is whether the boots are to blame for the number of injuries experienced by English footballers???
And with Wayne's Injury it was Nike's 'Total 90 Supremacy' boot to come under crititism....as Rooney was wearing Nike's revolutionary 'Total 90 Supremacy' boot for the first time at Stamford Bridge on Saturday when he suffered the injury....
But Nike reacted quickly & has said its new boots are not to blame for the injury sustained by Wayne Rooney at the weekend that looks likely to keep the striker out of the World Cup.
NIKE said:
But this injury surely comes as a blow to Nike as it had only just unveiled the new £120 boots and it had invested heavily in a UK marketing campaign in the run up to the World Cup that focused on the Manchester United striker.
