Wayne Rooney has suffered a sprained ankle that will keep him sidelined for between two and four weeks, British media is reporting.
Wayne Rooney's ankle dominated the sports pages on Wednesday.
"Not since Cinderella has so much rested on one foot," declared the Daily Mail newspaper in a headline that summed up the fears after the England striker was hurt in United's 2-1 Champions League quarter-final first leg defeat by Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
"Pray," declared the back page of the Sun. "England's worst nightmare," said the Times.
At best, he could be back in two weeks k for the Manchester Derby on April 17.
The news will also be a relief to Fabio Capello and England fans alike as these initial reports suggest the prolific striker, who has netted 34 times in all competitions this season, will not miss the World Cup with the same metatarsal injury that kept him sidelined in 2006.
