MANCHESTER United striker Wayne Rooney has recovered from a throat infection in time to spearhead the Premier League champion's attack for the trip to Tottenham Hotspur, manager Alex Ferguson said yesterday.
Defender Chris Smalling is doubtful for Sunday's game after a clash of heads on England duty midweek, while midfielders Tom Cleverley and Antonio Valencia are ruled out with foot and hamstring injuries respectively.
"Rooney's fit, he's trained all week which is good news," Ferguson said. "Smalling - there's no concussion but it is quite a nasty cut...it's something we'll need to tread carefully with. We'll see what he's like tomorrow."
Second-placed United travels to White Hart Lane to face a Spurs team still reeling from last weekend's 2-5 thumping by bitter rival Arsenal which came after Harry Redknapp's side had established a two-goal lead.
The north London side are third in the table, eight points behind United and 10 adrift of leader Manchester City.
Arsenal captain Robin van Persie and defender Thomas Vermaelen are both doubtful for today's Premier League match at Liverpool.
Van Persie played for Netherlands in its 3-2 win over England at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday while Vermaelen featured in Belgium's 1-1 draw with Greece. Manager Arsene Wenger said they went into their games carrying injuries and have deteriorated since.
"We have a problem with Vermaelen that we have to assess today," a clearly irritated Wenger told reporters yesterday.
