Wayne Rooney Is Fit :Fabio Capello

Wayne Rooney

Rooney, who has been hampered by ankle and groin problems in recent weeks, suffered the neck injury towards the end of England's Wembley farewell before the World Cup.

The Manchester United striker was forced to play on for the closing moments of the friendly as England coach Capello had used all six of his substitutes.

However, the Italian was quick to dismiss any fears the problem could impact on the World Cup campaign and is now looking for Rooney to hit top form.

"He said he had a small problem in his neck, but it is not a problem," said Capello.

"He wanted to come off for the last two minutes, but I had made all the substitutions so it was impossible to change.

"Rooney is okay. At this moment he just needs to play and find his form."

And Rooney also shrugged off any worries about his fitness ahead of England's final World Cup warm-up game against Japan on Sunday.

Javier Hernandez could be on the same pitch asWayne Rooney this evening when Mexico take on England in a World Cup warm-up match.

United’s latest signing – better known as Chicharito – is in the Central Americans’ provisional squad for South Africa 2010 and may figure in the friendly at Wembley, as might his other potential new team-mates Rio Ferdinand and Michael Carrick.

Chicharito’s arrival at Old Trafford is yet to be rubber-stamped with a work permit, but if all goes to plan, he could be back at tonight’s venue when the Reds contest the Community Shield with Chelsea in August.

Mexico go into the England game in good form, having won three friendlies in a row this month – all 1-0 – against Senegal, Angola and Chile.

However, they face a tough task to qualify for the last 16 from the same World Cup group as Uruguay, France and hosts South Africa, whom they face in the tournament opener on Friday 11 June.

United fans in the UK can watch England vs Mexico live on ITV1 tonight from 19:30 BST.
