Undergoing surgery.  Some other poster to a similar question said he had a broken jaw so far.\nSports report on the local news said a broken nose, broken jaw, some missing teeth, and suffered injuries to both knees.  The knee injuries were unknown.

he will be out for a while but Ferguson expect him to recover fast because of his age and his determination. \nWhat i read from Man Utd official website, he will be out for seven months\n\nyea!!! Man Utd won the carling cup easily.

He is expected to return just in time for the tourney. Will he be the same? Owen is injured again also. England will have to change their approach but are still loaded with talent. Lampard, Cole, Wright -Phillips, Gerrard etc. Rooney was not the heart but he was the fire.Erickson does not know what to do. I don't think they are favorites but they can get to the semis and take it from there. Good Luck to them.

He is still at Man Utd.\n\nCurrently, he is fighting for a midfield position with Giggs, Scholes, Carrick, Ronaldo, Fletcher, Oshea, Ji Sung Park (injured)...\n\nIn the Premiership this season, he has started 2 games, and came off the bench once. No Premiership goals to his name yet.

Deco and Costinha are suspended. Deco is important: he is the center of the midfield. Tiago will replace him. Costinha is not part of their first squad. Hugo Viana can play for him if Scolari uses the same strategy (which I doubt). Otherwise his position as second defensive mid is not necessary.\n\nC Ronaldo is likely to play, thankfully.

For overall impact and hard work i would have to go with Rooney...I am sure you have seen how hard he tries to recover a bad first touch or pass.  I would like to also state that the Saha has also shown flairs of his past abilities now that he has recovered from all his injuries.  Ruud isn't having one of his better years and Ronaldo though quite skilled still requires more maturity.

His status was=lame idiot feeling sorry for himself and rightfully so...\n\nHis status today=getting better & will make full recovery and play this season...I trully hope he does good and doesn't make a jack**s of himself anymore...he has great potential and I believe he can be great...

on the bench.  why?  no good reason.  he's a leading scorer and the genius manager decided he could better serve his team by sitting out.  not a good move imo.  he isn't injured if that's what you're asking.

No chance this time...Rooney injured...crap manager...Owen doubtful ( even if he goes, he'll hamstring as usual)...Defence shaky at times...all down to sven gormless erika jonston..sorry to say he is the worst manager England ever had...The world cup will prove it.

I reckon he should be given a bit of time. he did save the Toon last season when he took over from Souness, so he's not all bad.\n\nHe's been unlucky with injuries. Giuseppe Rossi is currently his only fit striker, and he goes back to Man U in January. So you can see that his options are quite short at the moment. With so many injuries to key players you just know things aren't exactly going up for them right now.\n\nFor me, I would play Rossi and Luque up front.\nMidfield (L to R) Duff, Emre, Parker, Solano\nDefence, anybody but Bramble. That is one area he needs to imporve on during the January transfer window.

Hmmm, most probably yes. Unless there's a miracle. Real madrid players got injured or England squad is in big trouble and lots of players are injured. Maybe beckham can show off his skills and perform well. Den maybe his career will become bright again.

England's chances of winning the World Cup are hanging in the balance after Wayne Rooney yesterday become the latest big-name footballer to suffer a foot injury.\n\nThe 20-year-old striker - England's most influential player - was carried off the pitch on a stretcher when he fell badly on his right foot after 82 minutes of Manchester United's 3-0 defeat at Chelsea. Rooney was later seen getting on to United's team bus before they headed back to Manchester, where he was due to have a scan on his right foot and ankle.\n\nThe seriousness of his injury was unclear, but it sparked immediate fears that it will prevent him playing in some or all of England's games at this summer's World Cup in Germany, which starts on 9 June. David Beckham and his teammates play Paraguay in their opening game in Group B in Frankfurt in 40 days' time. The England manager, Sven Goran Eriksson, Football Association officials and millions of fans across the country are hoping that the prodigiously talented forward - who is the hub of the England team - has not suffered a broken metatarsal in his right foot, the same injury which forced him out of England's last major tournament, the 2004 European Championships in Portugal.\n\nRooney's involvement in the game yesterday ended when he fell awkwardly after a tackle by Chelsea's Portuguese defender, Paulo Ferreira. He lay on the ground, in obvious pain, for several minutes before being put on to a stretcher and carried away, to loud applause from both sets of fans.\n\nIronically, it was another Portuguese defender, Jorge Andrade, who caused Rooney's first foot injury when he trod on him in the Portugal-England quarter-final in Lisbon, which England later lost on penalties.\n\nSir Alex Ferguson, the United manager, declined to speculate on how serious the injury was. 'We don't know. We'll have to wait until we get to Manchester,' he said. 'He's being looked after and we'll see. When a player is taken off we're always concerned, but hopefully Wayne's is not a bad one. It's a sore one, but we'll just have to wait and see. There's no point in making assertions at the moment.'\n\nIf Rooney cannot play in Germany, his absence will seriously diminish England's chances of capturing the World Cup for the first time in 40 years. Bookmakers have made them second favourites behind holders Brazil, but without the talismanic Rooney they would lack much of their creativity, attacking prowess and capacity to surprise opponents.\n\nIf the worst is confirmed, it will be a heavy blow for Eriksson, who is already concerned about the fitness of England's other main striker, Newcastle United's Michael Owen. He broke a metatarsal during a match against Spurs last December and has not played since.\n\nThe Swede also has injury concerns about Arsenal defender Sol Campbell, Spurs utility player Ledley King, Arsenal left-back Ashley Cole and Rooney's United and England colleague Gary Neville, who also picked up an injury yesterday. So, too, did Chelsea captain John Terry - England's first choice centre-half - but neither his nor Neville's injuries are thought to endanger their chances of appearing in the World Cup.\n\nA lengthening list of high-profile English players have suffered a broken metatarsal in recent years. Beckham, the England captain, did so in April 2002 while playing for United and appeared for England in the World Cup in Japan and South Korea three months later, despite being not fully fit. Foot injuries are increasingly common in top-level football, and are particularly troublesome because they mean that someone who has one cannot put his weight comfortably on the foot concerned.\n\nEriksson has to submit a provisional list of 23 players for the World Cup to Fifa, football's world governing body, by 8 May, with a final list a week later. Rooney's predicament may cause him problems similar to t

I read a report this morning, about those shoes, and how the newest ones that most players are wearing are not as supportive as the older styles which give more protection.  I have to agree that the shoes were the reason.  If you watched the match...and saw the replay, you'd see that his foot just buckled under the fall, and I believe with stronger support on the shoes, that wouldn't have happened.  The report can be seen at the link below, and it's just one man's opinion...but it makes sense, considering David Beckham, Michael Owen, Steven Gerrard, Danny Murphy and Scott Parker have all suffered this injury in the past couple of years, whereas before the newest style of boots was around, this injury was not as prevalent.

I really hope it's Crisitano Ronaldo! After the game against Holland I hope he's recovered! Those bastards took him out in the first 2 minutes!!! And he didn't even have the ball!!!! Anyway, yeah, Cristiano!

I believe he will be. I'm glad for him to have the opportunity to leave the game on a better note than an injury and a red card. O hope he plays well and good luck to him.
