Rooney to sit out the next week

Wayne Rooney missed the game against Stoke due to a slight hamstring injury and Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed the striker is to miss the next week or so.

He told MUTV: "It is difficult to say. It's a hamstring. It is not a serious one, it is a mild one.

"I don't think he will be available for next week. It will be more than a week out."

The striker has been in great form this season, scoring 9 times and is currently the Premier League's top scorer. 

We face Basle midweek and Norwich next Saturday, both games at Old Trafford. Hernandez, Welbeck, Owen, Berbatov, Macheda and Diouf will all be fighting to start those two games.

Lets hope Rooney is back to face Liverpool at Anfield the following Saturday, he'll definitely be needed.
