England boss Sven Goran Eriksson is ready to play Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney against Trinidad & Tobago.
Rooney was part of a 25-minute workout in the Frankfurt stadium after Saturday's opening victory.
Rio Ferdinand said of his Manchester United pal: "Wazza is looking good. He's desperate to get out there on the pitch.
"That's down to him being a young chap who wants to play at the World Cup. He's doing well and, fingers crossed, he'll play a part soon."
England fans gave Rooney a huge ovation and chanted his name as he went through his paces. Rooney got so carried away he even clattered Theo Walcott - a knock that probably contributed to Walcott's calf injury.
Watching former England star Lee Sharpe said: "Rooney seemed to be moving well, doing lots of slalom and shuttle runs and booting the ball around.
"He didn't seem to be holding back and in a bit of five-a-side he smashed Walcott from behind.
"I've had a few injuries in my career and coming back from a lay-off you tend to take it easy, stay away from tackles.
"But Rooney didn't seem to have any of that. He was quite happy to have the physical contact in the five-a-side game.
"As far as I could see, he seemed to be as close to ready as you could have hoped for and raring to go."
It is now just six weeks since Rooney, 20, broke a metatarsal bone in his right foot against Chelsea on April 29.
