Manchester: Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has admitted that he will not rush back from his latest injury but could be in action again by the end of September. The striker suffered a horrendous gash to his leg after coming on as a substitute during United's 3-2 win over Fulham at Old Trafford.
Rooney was ruled out of action for around a month after that game and, although there were reports suggesting he could be out for longer, he believes his recovery is on track.
"The injury is going well," Rooney said. "It could have been a lot worse than what it was. It is up to the doctor. When he declares me fit I will be ready. It feels good at the minute. The timescale put on it was four weeks. If that is the time they feel I need for the wound to heal properly then that is what I will do."
Man United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson will be hoping that the England forward is available for the Capital One Cup tie against Newcastle on 26 September, or perhaps the EPL match against Tottenham at Old Trafford three days later.
