~~~ WAYNE Rooney has been ruled out for four weeks after suffering an ankle injury in training ~~~
The United striker left Carrington on crutches and will miss Sunday’s Barclays
Premier League clash with Blackburn and most likely their remaining two group
matches in the Champions League.
He will also be unavailable for England’s friendly with Austria next week and the
Euro 2008 qualifier against Croatia at Wembley on November 21.
England coach Steve McClaren had only just named Rooney in his squad and
greeted the news with understandable disappointment.
“It is hugely disappointing for us and him,” he said.
“Given the form he has been in and the contribution he has made to England over
the last two games means it is a blow.
“But we have to deal with it, like we have dealt with situations like these before.
“It is an opportunity for someone else to come and do a job.”
Rooney has already been out injured this season when he broke his foot in the
first game of the season against Reading.
