Date: 03-05-2006 23:07
Sven-Goran Eriksson today admitted Wayne Rooney has more than one break in his foot and probably needs a "miracle" to be fit for the World Cup.
England boss Eriksson has been promised an update from Manchester United tomorrow.
But, at the moment, he plans to name Rooney in his 23-man squad on Monday and then keep his fingers firmly crossed.
Eriksson said: "I knew yesterday that he had more than one fracture. That's what I heard.
"I don't know what that means but I'm not that pessimistic. I'm born that way.
"Miracles happen in life now and then, but I don't really know."
"I will not rule him out until the doctors tells me there is no chance. No-one wants that to happen. Everyone hopes he can take part in the World Cup at some stage."
Eriksson said: "We have two problems. I am quite sure Michael will be fit but nobody knows about Wayne Rooney today. That's two extremely good strikers."
