Manchester United and England forward Wayne Rooney has missed
training this week because he has been suffering from a chest
infection.
In his pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday's Premier
League clash with newly promoted Stoke City, Sir Alex Ferguson
revealed that he hopes the 23-year old will be well enough to
compete on Saturday.
"Wayne Rooney had a bit of a chest infection and he’s been off this
week," Sir Alex is quoted by the club's official website as
saying.
"But hopefully he’ll be alright for tomorrow – I’m sure he will
be."
United players such as Darren Fletcher have said that they will
bring the battle to Stoke this weekend, and will have no problems
matching the Potters' physical style.
