June 7, 200620 yr http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/w...and/5057514.stm Wayne Rooney has been included in Sven-Goran Eriksson's World Cup squad, BBC Sport understands. Rooney appears to have won the race to prove his fitness after breaking a metatarsal in his right foot while playing for Manchester United in April. He has left on a flight back to Germany - which is due to land at Karlsruhe near Baden-Baden at about 2200 BST. He had earlier spent two hours at a Manchester clinic while doctors studied the results of Wednesday's scan. Football Association executive director David Davies had a broad grin on his face as he left hospital with Rooney before they drove to Manchester Airport. An official announcement has yet to be made by either the Football Association or Manchester United - who announced on their website at 1945 BST that a "decisive" scan result "will be announced this evening". But it does appear that Rooney has been given the green light by the group that spent two hours locked in the clinic at Whalley Range. That group included United doctor Tony Gill and physio Rob Swire, England team doctor Leif Sward and other specialists. It is also thought that an independent consultant from Fifa was on hand should there have been any conflict between Rooney's club and the FA - and it was reported that United lawyers were in attendance. But a decision has apparently been reached to retain Rooney in the squad - and send the unfortunate Jermain Defoe of Tottenham, who had been on standby, back to England.

June 8, 200620 yr rooney on the plane back to germany according to sky sports news. Wonder if he brought 100000 L&B back with him this morning Why do you think he went to Liverpool after having his scan. By the way is anybody bothered that if he does play in the World Cup and breaks down and has to have an operation which means he won't be available for Man U next season.
