Last updated : 01 March 2010 By Utd Mad Ed

Rooney picked up a knee injury in the Carling Cup final against Aston Villa and that started fears that the striker would miss the international friendly.

However, scans have revealed that he suffered no serious damage to his knee, with Rooney saying: "Yes it's OK. I went for a scan and it's just a bit of bruising.

"So I'm having a bit of a rest day today. I should train on Tuesday and play on Wednesday.

 "I always want to play for my country and I'll be involved. I'm fit to play."
