Wayne Rooney’s case to be backed up by the English Football Association: EURO 2012 Qualification
Manchester United’s star striker who now finds himself in deep trouble after getting sent off against Montenegro in England’s last EURO 2012 qualification encounter might be facing an extended ban for his red card last weekend.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Capello has already confirmed that Rooney might not walk back straight into the English national team squad even if his ban isn’t as lengthy as anticipated.
But the Football Association as adamant that English striker should be let off with just a one match ban, which would mean that the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c39043 man will miss the first group stage match of next summer’s European Championships
in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Montenegro-c2959 as frustration got the better of him eventually even though his team were leading their counterparts by two goals to nil on away turf.
F.A are already lobbying with UEFA to deal with Rooney’s suspension case as Bevington confirmed in his latest address to the media. The director of communications at F.A said, "We are still waiting to be advised by the Uefa disciplinary
group as to what the penalty will be. We have been working very hard behind the scenes to ensure that we are prepared to support Wayne in any way we can.”
He added, "If it does lead to an appeal process, or any supplementary evidence we can submit to support him, we are not disputing that he was sent off for a red-card offence, but it is very important to us as an organisation that
we try and look after all our players. And I would like to say, on the record, that Wayne conducted himself incredibly well after the game. He was very apologetic and I felt he handled it very maturely.”
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 later on this year at the Wembley stadium. Rooney will definitely not play in that encounter as it has already been confirmed by the English national team manager Fabio
Capello that he will be looking to shift and change things in that match in question to give some of the younger player their chance at the big stage.
