"While we are very, very sorry Rooney has suffered this injury and are not sure if he will play at the World Cup, from a business perspective this is something we could have imagined happening so it will not be a major disaster," said Massimo Giunco, commercial director of Nike in Europe. We're mad on Mondays, says Coleen, we watch all the soaps With a miracle now required to ensure his attendance at the World Cup, Wayne Rooney may well be spending most of June at home with his girlfriend, Coleen. And what a thrilling time he can expect away from the drama of the German football pitches... Doctor hopeful of Rooney fitness England team doctor Leif Sward believes Wayne Rooney will know before the World Cup starts just how significant a part he can play. Sward is now confident Rooney will be selected by Sven-Goran Eriksson in England’s 23-man party for Germany, despite the lingering fears his broken foot will force him to miss the finals. |
