At the England national team camp, euphoria - one of the most talented team players, young striker Wayne Rooney, after undergoing tests in Manchester, flew back to Germany and joined his team mates in the city of Baden-Baden.
On June 6, the player appeared at the first England national team training session since he suffered a serious injury - in a fateful English championship match against "Chelsea," the young football player broke his right foot, and it already seemed like his hopes of participating in the upcoming World Cup were shattered.
However, the head coach of the England national team, Sven-Goran Eriksson, always insisted that he needed W. Rooney very much and claimed to be willing to wait, even if the striker's chances of stepping onto the field were minimal.
"I said and will say that I really hope Rooney will participate in the World Cup. There is still time until June 9," - Eriksson stated, not knowing the results of the player's examination.
The main goalkeeper of the England national team, Paul Robinson, supported him at a press conference, saying that W. Rooney's participation will give the team optimism. However, the final word had to come from the doctors, so on Thursday, W. Rooney spent two hours at a clinic in Manchester, where thorough examinations were conducted.
According to the latest reports, leaving the clinic with FA General Director David Davies, the player was smiling and headed to the airport, flying to Germany. Although official information about the player's condition has not been confirmed yet, FA sources whispered to BBC journalists that the player would be included in the England national team squad for the World Cup.
