魯尼對於所效力的曼聯俱樂部干預並試圖阻止自己參加世界盃的做法很不滿，在英格蘭的訓練營中，他已經向多為隊友提到了此事，主帥埃裏克松表示現在是否派魯尼在同瑞典的比賽上場將完全由自己來決定，但是他不會拿魯尼來冒險，因為他的身體狀態還沒有百分之百達到最佳狀態。

　　原文：Roo fuming

　　By MARK IRWIN

　　WAYNE ROONEY has told members of the England camp he is fuming with Manchester United for trying to delay his World Cup debut.

　　Rooney was left bewildered and angry by all the political red-tape before his return against Trinidad & Tobago.

　　A phone call from United boss Alex Ferguson to his star striker earlier in the week is also understood to have increased his frustration.

　　Senior figures from United and the FA also debated the issue over the phone as the Premiership giants made it clear they did not want their ￡30million hitman to come back too soon.

　　Rooney, 20, was upset when United issued a statement declaring he would NOT be fit for any of England’s World Cup first- round games after breaking a metatarsal bone in his right foot in April.

　　England boss Sven Goran Eriksson revealed: “United came out with a statement one week ago that Rooney could be ready to play only after the first three games.

　　“Then it was changed and they said he could play after the first two games.

　　“But I am stubborn and was never willing to accept that because I thought he was match-fit for the Trinidad game.

　　“There was a lot of discussion on that but there was never a row with anybody in the FA for example.

　　“We didn’t want to play him in the first game against Paraguay because he was a little bit short of training and we didn’t want to risk it.

　　“But we were convinced he should be on the pitch in the next game and I’m very, very happy that we did that.”

　　Rooney had originally been told on Monday he would play some part in the Trinidad game.

　　But the following day, Eriksson was forced to admit his return could be delayed due to political reasons.

　　In the end, the FA convinced independent specialist Professor Angus Wallace to fly to Germany on the morning of the Trinidad match to pass Rooney fit to play.

　　He replaced Michael Owen after 57 minutes and helped England to finally see off the Group B minnows 2-0.

　　Roo is likely to come on as a second-half sub again in the Group B decider against Sweden in cologne on Tuesday.

　　Eriksson added: “Whether Wayne starts in the next game is entirely up to me.

　　“There will be no independent doctors this time. It is totally my decision now.

　　“But I won’t take any risks with him. He is still not 100 per cent match fit.”
