Manchester United Striker Wayne Rooney Ruled Out Of Champions League Quarter-Final Against Bayern Munich

Wayne Rooney

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has told reporters there is "no chance" Wayne Rooney will make an early return from injury to face Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday.

 

The Red Devils' 34-goal hit-man was injured towards the end of last week's 2-1 first leg defeat to the Bavarian giants at the Allianz Arena, and was initially ruled out for up to a month with ankle ligament damage.

 

However, media reports in recent days had suggested the 24-year-old would make a quicker than expected recovery to run out against the Germans at Old Trafford, but Ferguson quashed those rumours at his pre-match press conference on Tuesday.

 

Ferguson did admit that Rooney, who also missed training on Tuesday, has made "good progress" in his short rehabilitation so far but said he was not prepared to risk any further damage to the player's injury.

 

United fans will be hoping instead that their star player will be fit in time for the Premier League fixture against Blackburn Rovers on Sunday.

 

In his absence, Federico Macheda might be involved in the game on Wednesday after impressing Ferguson in the weekend's defeat against Chelsea.

 

"He's a fantastic talent," Ferguson said.

 

"We looked better with him on the pitch against Chelsea."

 

 

 

I don't believe him though.

[JohnnyH]

He's said he might be on the bench though. I'd be surprised if he took the risk. I know they said he'd be out for 2 to 3 weeks and it would be heading into the 2nd week, but it's still quite a risk to play him.

 

Ferguson will continue to say he might figure though just so it forcess van Gaal to have to plan for it.

[Captain]

The plot is thickening.

 

What plot would that be, the one where you claimed he would be fit to play against Chelsea?

[fowler9]

the fat granny shagging chav always seems to recover quick, hope it does some serious damage some day

 

 

as for that Macheda, he is fucking shite, blah blah he has 3 goals already, okay one was a decent strike, another hit him, and the other hit him and he handballed it while the rest of his all round play was shite in every game and no chance he is 17 or 18 whatever he is meant to be, looks older than Yakubu

[straight_red]

Well according to this Champions League football expert he's not going to start tonight... So will the forum be drafting a letter of apology to Fergie..............

 

As for the "they're our rivals, I don't want them to do well" angle, fair point I suppose.

 

I just hope Fergie rushing him back doesn't knack him for England. Wouldn't be surprised though.

[Dirk]

The plot is thickening.

 

The only plot I can see around these parts is the one you lost a very, very long time ago.

[red4life69]

I hope he doesnt make the entire season and he is done.. that would cheer me up no end and I couldnt give ten fucks about ENGLUND and their world cup dreams. ITS LFC AND NOTHING ELSE FOR ME !

 

I pray Bayern wipe floor with them ...

How predictable ...

 

Twitter / Henry Winter: Rooney starts. Capello her ...

 

"Rooney starts. Capello here, probably a touch nervous when Roo goes in for first challenge. No Berbatov."

[Steve Holt]

Fuck sake. It was a blatant lie wasn't it? Saying he was out for weeks. He isn't fucking superman.

 

Ferguson is so fucking see-through. Why do the press fall for this bullshit??

[Manny]

Bollocks. He's fucking bombproof, the fat cunt.

[niall]

I'm sure van Gaal was well aware that there was every chance he'd be playing, the man's not an idiot.

 

The media buy into it so they can write their "half-dead Shrek comes back from the dead to rescue mancs" headlines in the morning ... cunts, the lot of them

[Newport]

Probably recovered quicker because of all the lager.

[Steve Holt]

I've got to go watch this at the pub with two pro-manc mates who will be wetting themselves that Rooney is fit again. FUCK!

[halewood pete]

I JUST DONT CARE

[Baldi]

Why are we suprised, if it comes off tonight just watch the media rimming of demento. If he's injured again (which I fuckin hope happens) watch the pres go into meltdown.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Oh dear, we'll have code blowing his trumpet now. But he did say he'd be fit for the Chelsea game the waffling git.

 

I'll piss myself if Rooney is sent off in the opening half hour. Might go and see if i can get odds on the fat fucker getting a red card.

[navbasi]

Why are we suprised, if it comes off tonight just watch the media rimming of demento. If he's injured again (which I fuckin hope happens) watch the pres go into meltdown.

 

That would be the best senario, Utd lose and Rooney is out for 6 months.

[2pak]

The only plot I can see around these parts is the one you lost a very, very long time ago.

[Josef Svejk]

Note to Rooney-worshipping press: he played in the first leg; United lost.

[Guest Dog Chaser]

Big risk by Fergie if Rooney is actually injured, which you would guess is the case as he missed the Chelsea game. I'm sure Capello has something to say about this.

[Guest Ulysses Everett McGill]

Man United currently 2.05 to qualify on Betfair

 

Fucking mad odds

[ngogswilly]

I really shouldn't care but I fucking hate the fact that Fergie will be declared a mind games genius for this pure bullshit scumbag lying.

 

If Rafa was to pull something like this he'd be utterly slaughtered by the press but Fergie may aswel be Sun fucking Tzu.

[Baldi]

They arent a one man team are they Nosireebob !
