LONDON, June 3: Brazilian legend Pele on Saturday urged England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson not to rush Wayne Rooney into a premature return from injury for the World Cup.
Although the England coach is confident 20-year-old Rooney will play in Germany, Pele believes it could put the entire team's campaign in danger.
“It concerns me to hear that England may take Rooney,” Pele told the Daily Telegraph newspaper.
Rooney is recovering from the metatarsal injury he suffered five weeks ago, and a scan next Wednesday will determine whether Eriksson retains him in his squad for the finals.—Agencies
