The same injury ended Rooney's Euro 2004 campaign

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney is "devastated" at breaking a
bone in his foot but is hopeful he can play some role for England at
the World Cup.
The 20-year-old star faces at least six weeks out, which means he
will probably miss England's group games in Germany.

"You've just got to get on with it and be positive," Rooney told
MUTV.

"But I'm in great hands at United and I know with the physio team
I've got behind me here that they'll be able to give me the best
possible chance."

Rooney broke a metatarsal bone in his right foot when he was tackled
by Paulo Ferreira during Saturday's 3-0 defeat by Chelsea at Stamford
Bridge.

"I'm obviously devastated to have broken my foot at this moment in
time, it really is horrible," he said.

"I'll be coming in (for treatment) every day and trying to give
myself the best possible chance."

United's medical staff are in charge of Rooney's treatment but
England team doctors are liaising with them.


England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson has to name his 23-man squad for
Germany on 15 May but will announce a provisional squad on 8 May.

England's first group game at the World Cup is against Paraguay on 10
June.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has said the club will have the final
say on whether Rooney goes to the World Cup.

Eriksson says he wants to include Rooney in his squad, but Ferguson
says United are in a better position to judge.

The injury is the same one that ended Rooney's Euro 2004 campaign in
Portugal.
