ALEX FERGUSON last night confirmed SunSport's exclusive
that Wayne Rooney has recovered from his broken metatarsal. We
revealed yesterday Rooney, 21, was back in training and wanted to
play against his club Everton on Saturday.
That is five weeks after his foot was placed in a cast after his
third metatarsal injury in three years.
Fergie said: Hes started training which is good. Id not have
brought him back to training unless he was ready. The latest scan
was good and Im pleased with that. We have to wait and see how his
fitness is after being out but Im delighted hes on his way
back.
Fergie will now watch Rooney closely over the next few days to see
if he is ready for Saturdays 12noon kick-off at Goodison
Park.
