World Cup Blog....11 Days to go
Rooney scan switched
The next scan on England striker Wayne Rooney's injured foot has been brought forward by a week to 7 June.
The change, which was announced on Manchester United’s official website, is designed to afford Sven-Goran Eriksson the flexibility to replace the 20-year-old in his 23-man squad should it be shown that his broken metatarsal is not healing quickly enough to enable him to participate in the FIFA World Cup™.
Originally, it had been planned that the Manchester United striker would fly out with the England squad on 4 June before returning to Manchester ten days later for the CT scan that will determine whether he will be able to take any part in Germany.
