World Cup Blog: ....15 days to go....Rooney, United, England B

Wayne Rooney underwent an MRI scan on his broken foot on Thursday but the result is not expected until Friday.
Specialists will analyse the result with Manchester United's assistant team doctor Tony Gill before informing England's team doctor Leif Sward.

Fifa has imposed a deadline of 30 May for England to indicate whether Rooney is likely to be fit to play.

"Each team has to confirm by May 30 that their players are fit," said Fifa medical officer Dr Jiri Dvorak.

"If Rooney is on the list that is confirmation it is anticipated he will have recovered in time to participate."

However, if Rooney broke down with the foot injury between 30 May and 9 June coach Sven-Goran Eriksson would still be able to replace him in his squad.

stay tuned for tomorrows scan results and fingers crossed.......
