Rooney faces a nervous wait over his foot injury
Sir Alex Ferguson has told Wayne Rooney he needs to be careful as he
tries to recover and play in the World Cup.
The Manchester United striker will definitely miss England's group
stage games - after a scan revealed he cannot train for at least
another three weeks.
Manchester United boss Ferguson said: "Wayne has to look after
himself by ensuring he is getting the proper rest.
"He must wear his orthopaedic boot at the right time, especially in
training. Wayne's young, he doesn't feel pain."
Rooney requires another scan on 14 June to determine when he can
return to action.
If the striker's broken metatarsal is given the all-clear, he would
have 10 days to get fit for a last-16 tie.
England have to decide by 9 June whether to replace Rooney in the
squad.
Ferguson added: "This is a dangerous area because the scan quite
clearly shows the fracture is not healed."
Rooney suffered the injury in a Premiership game against Chelsea at
Stamford Bridge on 29 April.
