The Manchester United forward claims that timely treatment from the medical staff and some luck prevented http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hugo-Rodallega-c16414’s studs from causing him major harm.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736, who was on the bench for Fulham’s visit to Old Trafford, made a substitute appearance as the Red Devils aimed to see through the last moments of the game.
Things turned sour for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hugo-c16384 Rodallega, who accidentally landed studs-first on the attacker’s thigh.
A deep puncture wound and lots of blood describe the scene well, as Rooney was stretchered off the field.
Since then front-man has been recuperating and is now looking to make his return at the end of this month. But the player had some startling news to share, as he claimed that without the immediate attention of the doctors and a little bit of luck, he could
have caused severe damage to his artery, something which could have ended his career prematurely.
“I was quite lucky it didn‘t cut my muscle. “I was told it was just one millimetre away from severing an artery. It could have been a lot worse, so thank God for that. I could have been in serious trouble. The doctors said a lot of players could have fainted.
They tried to cover it up from me in the dressing room and put something in it to stop it being infected, but I told them I wanted to watch.
“Thankfully, their prompt action prevented serious and possible lasting damage,” Rooney was quoted as saying.
Although in previous seasons United would struggle without the presence of their attacking maestro, the signing of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson some extra choices up-front.
The tactician cannot rely on Rooney for the upcoming game against Wigan Athletic but is likely to name the Dutchman in his squad.
Van Persie bagged a hat-trick in his last outing for the club and with the form he has shown since the start of the campaign, he will probably lead the line against the Latics alongside http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shinji-Kagawa-c33364.
