Rooney passed fit
Wayne Rooney has been passed fit to play for England against Trinidad and Tobago on Thursday evening by independent medical advisors.
The Manchester United striker was earlier examined by Angus Wallace and Chris Moran, from the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham, ahead of the World Cup Group B in Nuremberg. England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson had already claimed on Wednesday that Rooney is "match-fit" and ready to return to action after six-and-a-half weeks out with a broken metatarsal.
A statement from the advisors said: "Wayne's recovery has been more rapid than expected over the past week, and this is due to the excellent care he has received since suffering the injury to his foot and because Wayne has worked so hard at his recovery."
