Mister Roboto, Your Fifteen Minutes are Up
The FA has revealed unofficially to the Beeb that Wayne Rooney is back in the England squad in time for the opener with Paraguay:
Rooney appears to have won the race to prove his fitness after breaking a metatarsal in his right foot while playing for Manchester United in April.
He flew back to Germany to re-join the England squad landing at Karlsruhe near Baden-Baden just after 2200 BST.
He had earlier spent two hours at a Manchester clinic while doctors studied the results of Wednesday’s scan.
Whew!
