Manchester United have given
permission for Wayne Rooney to join up with the England squad ahead
of Wednesday's friendly with Spain.
The striker's participation in the game at Old Trafford had
originally been thrown into doubt after he was removed in the
second half of United's 4-0 win over Tottenham on Sunday.
Following the game, Sir Alex Ferguson stated that Rooney had picked
up a knock in a challenge and was a doubt for the international
clash.
However, following medical examinations with his club on Monday
morning, Rooney has now been given the green light to link up with
England boss Steve McClaren and his side.
The final decision over the former Everton man's fitness will now
be left to The Football Association and McClaren's medical
staff.
The majestic striker's availability will come as a relief to the
national boss, as Rooney scored England's only goal in their last
outing - a 1-1 friendly draw with Holland in November.
Hooray!!
