Wayne Rooney To Recover In Time

Wayne Rooney

Although Wayne Rooney missed the 3–1 win over Tot­ten­ham at Old Traf­ford last Sat­urday with a groin injury sus­tained in train­ing, the striker is expec­ted to be ready for Manchester United’s Premier League game against Sun­der­land. Rooney also made a sur­prise comeback against Bay­ern Munich in the Cham­pi­ons League just a week after sup­posedly being ruled out for at least three weeks with an ankle problem.

Wayne Rooney now aims to return for the import­ant encounter with Sun­der­land at The Sta­dium of Light as Manchester United des­per­ately need to win to move above fel­low title chal­lengers Chelsea. This would undoubtedly be good news for Manchester United man­ager Sir Alex Fer­guson unless the pro­lific for­ward suf­fers yet another injury. Des­pite of the fact Manchester United are in more need of vic­tory than The Black Cats, they obvi­ously have to work very hard to over­come a con­fid­ent Sun­der­land side who have beaten the likes of Arsenal, Liv­er­pool and Tot­ten­ham at home this season.

Wayne Rooney was side­lined with an ankle injury sus­tained in the first clash with The Bav­ari­ans but he returned for the second leg ahead of schedule.
