Wayne Rooney was unavailable to play in Manchester United’s League Cup quarterfinal at Stoke City on Wednesday due to an unspecified injury, manager David Moyes revealed.
Rooney played for 84 minutes in United’s 3-0 win at Aston Villa on Sunday, but he was left out of the squad for the trip to the Britannia Stadium, with Danny Welbeck leading the line as a lone striker.
“The #SamsungTwitterParty is back! Get ready to party the night away come 19th December at Zone 7 with fellow tweeps. Entrance is 15,000shs. Call 0775439894 for details. Great music and drinks.”
“Wayne Rooney is injured,” Moyes told Sky Sports prior to kick-off.
Asked if the England striker would be fit in time for United’s busy schedule of matches over Christmas, he replied: “We hope so.”
Moyes is also currently without last season’s top scorer Robin van Persie, who has been ruled out for a month with a thigh injury.
