WAYNE Rooney could make a surprise return to the Manchester United team to face Bayern Munich in the Champions League tomorrow. The talismanic England striker suffered ankle ligament damage in last Tuesday's first leg in Munich which Bayern won 2-1.
However, Rooney has made a much quicker recovery than expected and has the chance of playing despite manager Alex Ferguson ruling him out for "two to three weeks" last Friday.
United expects Rooney back for the derby game against Manchester City on April 17, but Ferguson could have him back sooner.
"Rooney hope of shock return against Bayern," read a headline in the Daily Telegraph, while the Daily Mail said "United test Wayne for Bayern comeback."
England held its breath when Rooney sustained the injury so close to the World Cup, which starts in South Africa on June 11, but although he left Munich on crutches, he has made good progress on a water treadmill and an exercise bike. The England striker has been in top form this season, scoring 34 times.
Meanwhile, Dutch winger Arjen Robben, who missed the first leg with a calf injury, has been cleared to travel with Bayern Munich for the trip to Manchester.
