Rooney’s Return

September 29th, 2006 | by: Daryl | View Comments

Steve McClaren has announced his England squad for the Euro 2008 qualification double-header against Macedonia (October 7th, home) and Croatia (October 11th, away).

Rooney is back after his suspension for organ-grinding, meaning a return to Under 21 duty for Darren Bent, and Scott Parker makes a deserved return thanks to Owen Hargreves broken leg.

Despite dropping hints in Jonathan Woodgate’s direction, the on-loan Boro defender misses out.

Complete squad below:

Robinson (Tottenham)
Foster (Man Utd)
Kirkland (Liverpool)
The Neviller, G. (Man Utd)
The Neviller, P. (Everton)
Brown (Man Utd)
