Wayne Rooney has an outside chance of making the squad for Manchester
United’s Capital One Cup tie against Newcastle at Old Trafford on
Tuesday night. The 26-year-old striker has not played since suffering a
gash to his thigh against Fulham last month. But he has been training
for more than a week and has moved into contention for a place in Sir
Alex Ferguson’s squad. If he does not feature then he should play
against Tottenham on Saturday. Midfielder Darren Fletcher will start on
Tuesday as he continues his rehabilitation after being diagnosed with a
bowel condition last year. Fletcher, who came on as a substitute against
Galatasaray in the Champions League last week, has not started a game
for United since last November. Ferguson said: "He will play against
Newcastle and that is the perfect game for him to start back. It will be
his first 90 minutes for 10 months. It’s a big one for him."
