it was revealed last night that the man utd and england striker wayne rooney will have to sit out the rest of the season, with suspected ligament damage to the ankle injury he sustained in tuesdays champions league quarter final match against b. munich.

doctors could not put a time frame on how long they think it will take for the injury to heel, and it could be a nervous wait to see if the man utd player will be fit enough to play in englands bid to win the world cup later this year in s. africa.

a spokesman for mr rooney said he is deeply upset and mortified to have up picked up an injury at such an important time in the season, especially as united are in with a chance of winning both the domestic league title and the european champions league. but is pinning his hopes on getting fit in time to represent his country at the world cup finals.

Try again next year mate.
