Inggris (ANTARA News) - Wayne Rooney diragukan tampil dalam lanjutan Liga Inggris ketika Manchester United harus bertandang ke Manchester City pada Minggu, (2/11).

Rooney (29) telah melewatkan tiga laga terakhir MU karena larangan bermain setelah menerima kartu merah langsung, melanggar Steward Downinng dalam kemenangan 2-1 United atas West Ham, (27/11).

Dengan kembalinya kapten klub MU itu dalam pasukan Louis van Gaal ketika bertemu rival mereka, City, pelatih Belanda itu punya pilihan menyerang.

Namun, laporan dari The Daily Telegraph, The Sun, dan Daily Star menyebutkan bahwa Rooney menderita cedera kaki saat berlatih dan bisa saja melewatkan perjalanan ke Etihad Stadium.

Melawan Chelsea pada Minggu, (26/10), Robin van Persie memimpin barisan dalam absennya Rooney dan cederanya Falcao dengan mencetak satu gol di tambahan waktu dan membuat imbang 1-1.

Rooney telah mencetak tiga gol dalam enam penampilannya Liga Inggris musim ini, juga menciptakan dua asis, demikian espnfc.com

Wayne Rooney is a doubt for Manchester United's Premier League match at Manchester City on Sunday, according to a number of British newspapers.

Rooney, 29, has missed United's last three games through suspension after receiving a straight red card for kicking out at Stewart Downing in the 2-1 win over West Ham on Sept. 27.

It was anticipated that the club captain would return to Louis van Gaal's side for the weekend meeting with rivals City, boosting the Dutchman's attacking options.

However, it is reported by The Daily Telegraph, The Sun and the Daily Star that Rooney has suffered a foot injury in training and could miss the trip to the Etihad Stadium.

Against Chelsea on Sunday, Robin van Persie led the line in the absence of Rooney and the injured Falcao, with the Netherlands international scoring in injury time to clinch a 1-1 draw.

Rooney has scored three times in six Premier League appearances this season, also managing two assists.
