Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher believes Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney is facing the biggest challenge of his career. There are calls for Rooney to be dropped for England's next World Cup game against Uruguay.
"Wayne Rooney is under pressure and facing the biggest challenge of his 93-cap England career," Carra wrote in the Daily Mail.
"There are four attacking positions in Roy Hodgson's team and it is beyond dispute that Daniel Sturridge and Raheem Sterling are now automatic names.
"Rooney had that security once but he is now vying with Ross Barkley, Adam Lallana, Danny Welbeck and James Milner for the other two spots.
"Playing him wide left against Italy - something I advocated 10 days ago - has increased the debate about his place in the starting line-up after he had problems containing the excellent combinations Matteo Darmian and Antonio Candreva."
