Rooney And Lampard May Miss England Game



     Manchester United striker Rooney will have a scan on his knee today after he picked up a knock during Sunday's 3-0 win over Liverpool.
     Doctors at Old Trafford seem to think the injury will keep him out of the midweek friendly in Paris.
     "Rooney has a problem and was limping at the end," commented United boss Sir Alex Ferguson after yesterday's game. "We will have a look at it, but we don't want to make any decisions at this stage."

Lampard's Hip And Miss

     Meanwhile Frank Lampard has admitted his chances don't look good after damaging his hip during the 2-1 win over Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.
     "I got a knock on my hip in the first half and it was pretty painful all the way through," said the midfielder. "I'm going to report with England and I just hope it's okay."
     Lampard missed Capello's first game in charge with a thigh injury.

Keeper Change

Elsewhere, Capello has had to make further alterations to his squad, calling up West Ham's Robert Green to replace the injured Chris Kirkland.
