ENGLAND boss Fabio Capello breathed a sigh of relief this morning after star striker Wayne Rooney vowed he will be fit for the World Cup.
The Manchester United hit-man, who was voted the Professional Footballers’ Association Player of the Year on Sunday night, missed Saturday’s 3-1 win against Tottenham because of a groin injury.
But Rooney insisted he will be ready to board the plan with the rest of the England squad for South Africa and is even targeting United’s last game of the season against Stoke.
“The groin will be fine for the World Cup, there are no worries about that,” he said. “I’m hoping to play for United in the last game of the season.”
