Man Utd skipper Rooney under England injury cloud

Wayne Rooney is in doubt for England's Euro2016 qualifier with Estonia on Friday.


The Three Lions captain did not train with the squad on Tuesday after picking up a knock on Sunday's 3-0 defeat at Arsenal.

Rooney, along with first-time call-up Danny Ings (Liverpool) and midfielder Jonjo Shelvey (Swansea City), will be treated by the England medical team leading up to the clash with the Estonians at Wembley.

If the trio are not passed fit for Friday, they will be considered for the trip to Vilnius to take on Lithuania next week.
