London: Wayne Rooney hopes intensive treatment on his broken foot will allow him to play some part in the World Cup.

“I’ll be coming in (for treatment) every day and trying to give myself the best possible chance,” Rooney told MuTV on Tuesday.

“I’m obviously devastated to have broken my foot at this moment in time, it really is horrible. But I’m in great hands at United and I know with the physio team I’ve got behind me here that they’ll be able to give me the best possible chance.

“You’ve just got to get on with it and be positive. That’s what I’m trying to do at the moment and I’ll be trying to get myself fit as soon as possible.

“I’d like to thank everyone who’s sent me messages and supported me,” he said. “But it’s now important that I have some privacy and the press leave me alone as I try to get myself fit.” (Reuters)
