Reds wait on Rooney news
Date published: 01 April 2010
THE hard work will start immediately for Wayne Rooney to ensure his spell on the sidelines is as brief as possible.
Although there has been no official confirmation from Manchester United, it is widely anticipated the scan Rooney had will confirm a sprained right ankle and a two–to–four week period on the sidelines.
That would rule Rooney out of Saturday’s crucial Premier League encounter with Chelsea, plus the second leg of the Champions League quarter–final against Bayern Munich next Wednesday.
However, in a best–case scenario, the 24–year–old would be available for a semi–final meeting with Lyon or Bordeaux should United overcome Bayern’s 2–1 first–leg advantage.
