Having finally qualified, all eyes are now fixed on England’s clash with Germany on Sunday but there are still concerns about Wayne Rooney’s ankle injury (DailyMail.co.uk 24th June 2010).
Mr Fares Haddad, orthopaedic surgeon here at The Princess Grace Hospital and also University College Hospital, has these reassuring words.
“Footballers frequently can be managed such that they play on with minor injuries and niggles. As Wayne Rooney has already suffered an ankle injury last season it is highly likely that he continues to play with some inflammation in his ankle, secondary to minor instability and possibly bone bruising.
This can be stirred up by playing and can be managed with elevation, ie, anti inflammatories, physiotherapy and non impact activity such that he will, in all probability, modify his training load but play when required on Sunday.
