Wayne Rooney will not be able to immediately appear in the "Manchester United" team's friendly match marathon. The 27-year-old striker injured his Achilles tendon during training and will not be able to play against the team of Thai stars in Bangkok.
The "Manchester United" club believes that W. Rooney will not be able to play with his team for about a month.
On Friday morning, the footballer returned to England. He spent less than 24 hours in Thailand.
"After the results of the examination were revealed, it was decided to urgently send the player home so that he could start rehabilitation there," - says the "Manchester United" statement.
The experienced trauma is not the main problem for W. Rooney in preparing for the upcoming English Premier League season. It is believed that the footballer may still leave the team. Furthermore, if he stays here, he needs to fit into new plans of David Moyes, who replaced the retired Alex Ferguson.
The new coach wants to try out various combinations of strikers and he will do so in Thailand. However, for now, Robin van Persie, who is still resting, will not be able to play.
