Wayne Rooney has definitely been ruled out of the first three games of England's World Cup challenge.
The Manchester United striker returned to England's training base in Baden-Baden having apparently been given the green light to step up his training in a bid to take some part in the tournament over the next month.
However, he has done so on the express advice that he plays no part in England's Group B campaign and is then monitored 'very carefully' before he is allowed to take the field during the knockout rounds.
