England staff were delighted to see Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney go at full throttle at yesterday's training.
First he took off in training with a scissor kick which stunned even the England coaching staff who are desperate for the boy-wonder to be fit for the World Cup.
Then Rooney flew out to Germany in buoyant spirits and now he could land on the bench in time for England%u2019s final group game against Sweden on June 20.
An England source told The Sun: "It was absolutely fantastic to see Wayne doing scissor kicks.
"It is no longer a question of if he plays but when. We think he can be ready for the Sweden game - if necessary."
It is sensational news for England's World Cup chances and has boosted the whole squad. But Rooney will be risked against the Swedes only if England need him.
