Papers: Rooney set to return

Rooney makes stunning recovery from injury
Wayne Rooney could make a shock return for Manchester United in Wednesday night's Champions League clash with Galatasaray. The striker was expected to be out until October after suffering an horrific thigh injury against Fulham on August 25. The 26-year-old received a deep gash in his right leg in an accidental clash with Fulham’s Hugo Rodallega. But Rooney has stunned United’s medics with his swift recovery and has been back in training for five days, reports The Sun. And Rooney could even be on the bench for United's Champions League opener at Old Trafford. The England striker will almost certainly be available for Sunday’s Premier League showdown with Liverpool at Anfield. Rooney, who is wearing light strapping to avoid infection, took his first steps towards a comeback last week with a light outdoor session and gym work.  And he stepped up his recovery by taking part in full training on Tuesday.
