ALEX FERGUSON last night confirmed SunSport's exclusive that Wayne Rooney has recovered from his broken metatarsal. We revealed yesterday Rooney, 21, was back in training and wanted to play against his club Everton on Saturday.That is five weeks after his foot was placed in a cast after his third metatarsal injury in three years.
Fergie said: “He’s started training which is good. I’d not have brought him back to training unless he was ready. “The latest scan was good and I’m pleased with that. We have to wait and see how his fitness is after being out but I’m delighted he’s on his way back.”
Fergie will now watch Rooney closely over the next few days to see if he is ready for SaturdayÂ’s 12noon kick-off at Goodison Park.
