England coach Roy Hodgson has no doubts Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney will be fully fit for the World Cup.
Rooney is so determined to make an impact in Brazil that he has taken two fitness trainers on holiday to Portugal with him this week.
"We have nothing to fear with Wayne," Hodgson said after naming his 23-man squad for Brazil on Monday.
"His attitude is spot on. His desire could not be better.
"Has he got the ability? Yes, he has, so it is just a case of bring on the matches and on that particular day Wayne Rooney can find the form that makes him who he is.
"I said to the players that I am more than happy for them to go and forget football for a week and go and get themselves mentally-prepared for the many weeks we have ahead," Hodgson added.
"But Wayne has decided to take some physios with him where he is going and to continue his programme as he is so determined that when we meet up on the 19th he'll be able to join in straight away.
"It's quite laudable that that's the way he thinks and I'm not trying to dissuade him."
