| Rooney set to be fit for England game • Sir Alex Ferguson says Wayne Rooney is back in training• Manager: 'I have to be dead sure I'm doing the right thing'Wayne Rooney may be fit to play for England in their Euro 2012 qualifier with Montenegro on 12 October despite being ruled out of Manchester United's Premier League match at Sunderland tomorrow with an ankle injury.The striker aggravated the injury at Bolton Wanderers last weekend, but according to his club manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, he could still be available to the England coach, Fabio Capello, who is due to name his squad for the game on Monday."Wayne trained yesterday and he wants to play tomorrow," Ferguson told Key103. "But I have to take the view that this injury has been niggling away for a while and he kept on playing."I have to be dead sure that I am doing the right thing because Wayne has not been doing himself justice. I think in a week he will be fine. Obviously we don't play in a week, so it is up to Fabio Capello whether he wants him to."On this occasion it clearly works to England's advantage that they only have one match to play in the forthcoming international break, on the second of the two dates. "The Montenegro match is another 10 days away," said Ferguson. "By that time I would expect Wayne to be 100%."Wayne RooneyManchester UnitedEnglandguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
