Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck says England players accept Wayne Rooney must play against Ukraine.

Welbeck will happily welcome back his Manchester United team-mate, with Rooney's suspension now over, even though he will be one of the players under threat of losing his place.

He said: "Make no mistake, the whole team is happy that Wazza will be available to play again.

"We all want to play but it's only going to benefit us to have a player of his proven quality as part of the plans going forward in this tournament."
