Rooney's World Cup in jeopardy
Sven-Goran Eriksson must now decide whether to take the biggest gamble of his
time as England manager after it was confirmed Wayne Rooney will be out for
six weeks after breaking his foot at Stamford Bridge.
易利信面臨執教英格蘭以來最大賭博: 該不該把魯尼帶到世界盃
Rooney was stretchered off during Manchester United's 3-0 defeat by Chelsea,
having suffered the injury in a challenge for possession with Paulo Ferreira.
魯尼在與卻爾西的比賽中再與費雷拉爭搶皮球時受傷被擔架抬下場
And, despite the reassurances of Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, who claimed after
the game he had been told by United staff Rooney was `okay', the initial
fears as Rooney was taken down the tunnel have now been confirmed.
原先擔心的魯尼的傷勢成為現實
'Wayne Rooney has fractured the base of the fourth metatarsal on the right
foot and he will be out for six weeks,' said United in a short statement
tonight.
右腳指的第四根metatarsal 骨折 魯尼將缺陣六週 曼聯的官方聲明
Rooney travelled back to Manchester with his team-mates before heading
straight to a private hospital in nearby Whalley Range, where the precise
extent of his injury was diagnosed.
And, with England's opening World Cup game against Paraguay on June 10
exactly six weeks away, Eriksson's dilemma is now obvious.
距離世界盃與巴拉圭比賽日期正好是42天 易利信的處境很艱難
When Rooney fractured the fifth metatarsal on the same foot in the Euro 2004
quarter-final defeat to Portugal, it was 10 weeks before he played again.
當魯尼在2004年歐錦賽敗給葡萄牙腳指的第五根metatarsal骨折時 他用了10週才再出場
比賽
Such a lengthy absence would render it pointless taking the 20-year-old to
Germany this summer given the obvious loss of fitness.
這樣長度的缺席比賽可能導致魯尼去德國毫無意義 因為明顯的傷癒後缺乏訓練
However, Rooney is such a key figure in an England side widely tipped to
challenge for the trophy, Eriksson may deem it a risk worth taking him even
though the former Everton star will definitely miss the final two matches of
Manchester United's domestic programme and England's pre-tournament friendlies
against Hungary and Jamaica.
魯尼對英格蘭很重要 易利信很友可能把魯尼帶到德國 就算它不能參加兩場友誼賽
Eriksson has previously indicated he would be prepared to take such a risk if
one of his more important players was injured in the build-up to the
tournament.
易利信已經說過他會冒險 也有先例
To this England side, they do not come more important than Rooney, although
any decision to take the youngster to Germany would have to be made in
consultation with United's medical staff - and Ferguson - to whom the former
Everton man is equally important.
一切還需要討論
Even to consider letting Rooney join up with England, the United boss would
require cast-iron guarantees the player's long-term fitness would not be put
at risk.
Eriksson has already pledged to name a 26-man squad on May 8 before cutting
three names from the list on the final FIFA deadline-day a week later.
Without receiving further clarification from United, it would be a major
surprise if Rooney was not in the original party, before Eriksson then
decides the precise make-up of his squad.
魯尼來是很有可能在最後的大名單裡
