It’s still an injury and it’ll still require rehab and close monitoring from the Manchester United training staff, but it seems Wayne Rooney and the English National Team have averted the worst-case scenario. The superstar striker will likely be out just 2-4 weeks according to Sky Sports:
Wayne Rooney Injury Likely Not Serious: England, You Can Breathe Now
Wayne Rooney is facing between two and four weeks on the sidelines with a sprained ankle, Sky Sports News understands.
The fears of the national team appear to be have been alleviated by the initial prognosis, but the Red Devils will be without their attacking ace for a significant spell during the title run-in.
And for soccer fans, it’s the best of both worlds, really. On the one hand, Rooney will miss a crucial stretch of Manchester United’s title run, a serious blow to the title chances for soccer’s New York Yankees. So that’s good. But what’s more, England’s best player will be back in time for the World Cup, ensuring that the British won’t have any excuse for their inevitably disappointing finish in the World Cup. So... High fives all around!
