Several days ago we were talling you that Rooney will be scanned again on the 14 of June to see if he would be fit for the World Cup.

Apparently, the scan has been brought earlier, on the 7th of June (right before the start of the World Cup).

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™.

Let’s hope that Rooney will be fit at least for the last matches for England.

England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson said: “It is important the scan will be done before I have to give the list to FIFA on June 9. “We have to take the decision and we want to have the scan as close to that date as possible. “I am always very optimistic and and still think he will play a part in the World Cup.”
