Rooney passed fit for AC Milan tie
Tuesday, 9 March 2010 15:43Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney will be fit for Wednesday's Champions League second leg match against AC Milan, manager Alex Ferguson said on Tuesday.
Rooney, who has scored 23 Premier League goals this season, was a doubt after missing the 1-0 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers with a knee injury picked up on England duty but Ferguson told reporters he will feature at Old Trafford.
'He is fit,' Ferguson said of the England frontman.
'There is a rapid improvement from Saturday morning because on Friday evening I didn't think he had any chance.
'It's good news. He is a threat to anyone at the moment.'
United, who won the opening leg of their last 16 first knockout round tie 3-2 in the San Siro, are also without suspended midfielder Michael Carrick and injured duo Michael Owen and Ryan Giggs for the second leg.
United's England defender Wes Brown could also be out for up to six weeks with a foot injury.
