WAYNE'S BIG DAY

Last updated : 07 June 2006 By Ed
Wayne Rooney will be back in Manchester for a scan on his foot today which will determine whether or not he can take part in the World Cup. Speaking ahead of the scan Eriksson said:

"I'm confident he will take part in the World Cup and he is 300 percent confident that he will play," affirmed Eriksson.

"I have been saying for one month that I'm sure he will take part in the World Cup.

"But I look forward to the point when we don't discuss scans and Rooney's foot any more."

It seems that Rooney should know the results this evening too.

Eriksson added: "Wayne flies out mid-morning, the scan is in the afternoon.

"The doctor will phone me when he knows anything.

"They are back in the evening, so we should know something then."
