Fergie convinced England can manage without Rooney

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has hinted that Fabio Capello should leave Wayne Rooney out of his England team for the next match.

Rooney has been called up to the England squad and could face Kazakhstan next Saturday.

The England striker has been struggling with an ankle problem he suffered at Aalborg in midweek.

Fergie told the Daily Star: “If they decide to play him in one game and left him out on Saturday – it’s not an issue with me.

“I have no problems with Rooney joining up with the England squad.

“The saving grace is that they should win both games comfortably, even if he isn’t fit in time for next Saturday.

“But that is Fabio’s call to make, when he assesses how Wayne’s progressed over the next few days.

“That rests with Fabio. He’s got two games and I’m sure England will win both games.

“And he can cope without Wayne in that situation.

“I don’t think this is the biggest test for England. They have got players who are more than capable of filling Wayne’s boots in these games.

“But that is Fabio’s call. He might want to play him next Saturday – and I’m sure he will be fit for that.”
