08 August 2007 - 20:35

Steve McClaren has put his faith in Wayne Rooney for Euro 2008 qualification. The former Middlesbrough manager believes Rooney could be England's saviour as his pre-season performances have been impressive.

  • Fabrizio Romano updates on Nicolas Jackson's future at Chelsea
  • Arsenal suffer big injury blow ahead of Fulham game
  • McClaren said, “It is great to see Wayne coming back from his break this summer in top form.



    “I spoke to Sir Alex quite early on and he told me how fit Wayne was. He certainly looks very fit from what I have seen.



    “It is his first full pre-season for a while as well, so you are bound to benefit from that.



    “Speaking to Wayne, I know he is dying to get back into the England squad and he is going to be a big player for us.”
