United suffer Rooney blow
-
Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney faces a spell on the sidelines after suffering a hairline fracture of his left foot in Sunday's goalless draw with Reading at Old Trafford.
The England international had to be substituted at half-time after being caught by Royals defender Michael Duberry.
Ferguson said after the stalemate when asked about Rooney's injury: "We don't really know, we're waiting to see how the scan goes. We've sent him for a scan and hopefully everything's ok.
"It was painful, he couldn't really stand on it. I don't think it's the same injury as the last, obviously we hope and pray that that's the case.
"But it was sore and it started to swell so there was no point in trying anything for the second half."
Rooney has already suffered two metatarsal injuries during his career, the last just before the start of the 2006 World Cup finals. -
wad timing!
we just bought another rooney!
nothing to lose! -
Rooney blow hits Reds and England
Wayne Rooney faces up to two months on the sidelines after suffering a hairline fracture of his left foot in Sunday's 0-0 draw with Reading.
The incident occurred near the end of the opening period when Rooney fired a low cross from Michael Carrick just over the crossbar.
In attempting to make a tackle, Michael Duberry accidentally trod on Rooney's foot.
It was clear instantly Rooney had a problem, as he went down and removed his boot.
Although he was able to continue briefly, he did not reappear for the second half, with United boss Sir Alex Ferguson sending the 21-year-old for a scan.

well, in such a short career, really sad to see him suffering again.
hopefully, Saha and Tevez can fill his boots. -
England's Euro 2008 hopes were dealt a major blow last night when it was confirmed that Wayne Rooney had suffered the third metatarsal injury of his career.
Rooney is expected to be sidelined for six weeks after suffering what Manchester United described as a 'hairline fracture of the left foot' towards the end of the first half of their 0-0 draw with Reading at Old Trafford yesterday.
The 21-year-old striker will miss three England games — a friendly against Germany a week on Wednesday and two key qualifiers against Russia and Israel next month — and as many as nine games for his club.
His absence is likely to force new United signing Carlos Tevez into action against Portsmouth at Fratton Park on Wednesday, when United will seek to make up lost ground on title rivals Chelsea and Arsenal who both won yesterday.
Rooney's latest problem is not thought to be as serious as the clean metatarsal breaks he suffered during the finals of Euro 2004 in Portugal and in a game against Chelsea at the end of the 2005-06 season.
Nevertheless, United manager Sir Alex Ferguson revealed that Rooney was in such pain yesterday that he could barely stand at half-time.
Ferguson said: "It was sore and had started to swell. He was having some problem with the pain. His loss was obvious. If he had still been on the pitch we would have won the match." -
sway. must be the boots that dun offer enough protection....

Tevez to soften Rooney blow
Wayne Rooney's injury woe looks likely to hand Carlos Tevez an unexpected debut in Wednesday night's trip to Portsmouth.
Hitherto United's only fully-fit striker, Rooney suffered a fractured foot against Reading and is likely to miss the new few weeks.
With Louis Saha and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer back in training, but without any pre-season action, Tevez is likely to play a part at Fratton Park despite his own lack of match-fitness.
"Carlos Tevez is available now and Louis Saha and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are training," Sir Alex told MUTV.
"I was considering using Carlos at Portsmouth anyway but, obviously, he will come into our thoughts even more now."
The United Manager also played down suggestions of a knee-jerk foray into the transfer market to further bolster the Reds' striking department.
"With Wayne as well, we have four strikers so I am not looking at a situation where I have to add to that number," he said. -

Tevez will step up. I'm sure of that. Looks like we'll have to wait for quite some time to see Rooney and Tevez's partnership.

Duberry Wishes Rooney Well
Reading defender Michael Duberry has wished Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney well, after the pair were involved in the collision that caused the strikerÂ’s injury.
A sympathetic Duberry insisted that it was an accident and wished Rooney a full and speedy recovery.
"It was a complete accident," the Royals defender said.
"I hope and wish him all the best and the most speedy of recoveries, not just for Manchester United's sake but for England's too.
"He has already been through the trauma of injury and I know myself what it is like. To be hurt in the first game of the season is even more disappointing and now he is facing the long haul of rehabilitation. "
