He's out for three months at least, according to Milan's doctors. Does this mean Wayne Rooney's exempt from the injury I've assumed he's going to pick up in late April to rule him out of the World Cup? Please let it mean that.

I read this online about twenty seconds before Adrian Chiles mentioned it on MOTD2. Bafflingly, Martin Keown has just declared that England 'need him fit.' Thing is Martin, whether you like him or not... we don't need him fit.

He seemed to be exerting himself more than usual against Chievo tonight, chasing down a lot. (He also very nearly scored.)
England may not need him fit but Milan do. We're fucked with injuries right now.

It was a weird injury; no one was within five metres of him, and he didn't seem to have planted his foot in a particularly unusual fashion. But he clearly knew that it was serious as soon as it happened.

FUCK FUCK FUCK! Fuck you, Milan.
I know he's not getting any younger, and he's falling apart, but still...fuck.

I wondered why Inca was annoyed for a minute then, then I remembered he plays for his team in the US. I'd completely forgotten about that.
I thought he desperately wanted him in the England squad or something.

Oh, he's a massive twat. But he really played like he meant it last season.

If it's any consolation Inca, he's essentially out for what amounts to the rest of his loan spell, and you've loaned him out to the club with possibly the best medical facilities in the world.
Now whether he stays in Milan to recover for the next three months is another matter, of course...

Well, now when he returns to LA he won't be all depleted from the World cup. Or something.

How much partying can you do with a broken Achilles? That's what I'd be asking myself.

If a 34 year old's injury is so important that it needs stop presses throughout MOTD2 and, I assume, blanket coverage tomorrow, you ain't going to win the World Cup.
Rooney, on the other hand, is another matter as you would need him to do a Maradona

Capello will be breathing a sigh of relief.
One less controversial selection to be doing with.
(edit:
Having said that, I must admit that he's probaby one of the:
Best. Crossers of the Ball. Ever.
)

UGGHH -- I'm nursing a sore left achilles and am finding that it is only getting better by staying off it as much as possible. Hard to imagine a torn one can be repaired and rehabilitated in three months.

That's why I said in the OP that I hope like hell that he's in some way taken a bullet for Wazza here. Not that I think we'll win it with or without Rooney, but with him in it'll be a lot more interesting seeing how far we can go.

They've just had a big discussion on 5Live about this. It's been talked about with the type of solemn tone usually reserved for unexpected celebrity deaths.

The placement is the disgrace. The Beckham story has been upgraded from most important sport story (which it probably was) to third most-important news story in the world.
Even Macclesfield's manager, Keith Alexander, dying last week didn't get upgraded to being part of the main news.
The dog story is in a section of the BBC website traditionally reserved for 'quirky' stories.
So yes, it is a disgrace.

To be fair, Keown was fairly baffling all night, He said that Rooney made a 'cameo appearance' for Man Utd last night, for instance.
So he could have meant that England need him fit, England don't need him or that England is a galaxy in the molecules of Beckham's achilles
