England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson confident of Wayne Rooney being in World Cup
England football coach Sven-Goran Eriksson said he is still confident that Wayne Rooney will be able to take part in the World Cup finals.
Wayne Rooney, 20, has been training more after a broken foot but will find out how well he has been doing after a scan in Manchester on Wednesday.
"I think he looks very good - but let the surgeons and the specialists have their say tomorrow," said Sven-Goran Eriksson.
"Very soon we will know what's going to happen about him, but I've always said I think he will be ready."
Sven-Goran Eriksson added: "Let's wait until tomorrow afternoon or Thursday."
Forward Wayne Rooney, who is recovering from a broken metatarsal, was photographed trying for a scissor kick in England's last training session on Monday before they fly out to Germany.
Wayne Rooney spent Tuesday's training session in Buhlertal, near the base in Baden-Baden, with one of the England physios practising some sprinting skills and a bit of ball work.
However, the result of the hospital scan will determine whether Wayne Rooney will be involved in the World Cup finals.
