Neville ready for finals without Roo
Gary Neville insists England can make a massive impact on the World Cup even if Wayne Rooney fails to recover from a broken metatarsal, and warned: "You can't rely on one player."
Defender Neville, who missed the last World Cup through injury, believes England "have to plan for Wayne not being available" when the finals get underway in three weeks' time. The 31-year-old is aware it will be the teams who cope best with injuries and suspensions who will emerge as serious challengers.
Neville said of his Manchester United team-mate, who faces a scan on Thursday: "I think we will still have a very good squad even without Wayne. Wayne isn't here at present. The players on the pitch are the most important ones, the ones who are training, the ones who are fit."
