England striker Wayne Rooney will not be fit to resume training for six weeks, a scan on his broken metatarsal has revealed.
If the six-week prediction by medical staff is correct, Rooney would be fit just two days before the final.
England's first World Cup group stage match against Paraguay is on 10 June, with the final on 9 July.
Rooney, 20, will have another scan on 14 June to determine what role if any he will have during the campaign.
