Batman Where Are You?
Bruce Wayne where are you? Errr, Wayne Rooney I mean, where are you? He is going to make a heroic entrance to the England side during the World Cup competition. Prior to reports of 6 weeks before return, a top Physiotherapist has revealed that Rooney needs at least 8 weeks before he can kick the ball again. 6 weeks is needed for the bone to heal and another 2 weeks for the muscle to loosen up to the level of sports activity once again.
Having said that, Rooney would be able to play on the last week of June during the last 16 team’s matches given that England gets past Round 1. Practice or no practice he will be pitted up against top players while expectations on him will continously increase throughout the tournament.
FIFA on the other side handed a reasonable decision of extending England’s player deadline until June 9. Why not? He is a superstar that could bring in millions of dollars throughout the tournament. The most they can do is make the public expect his return and draw in reasonable amount of income into the game.
