Broken metatarsals and out for 6 weeks according to the BBC

which takes us right up to the Paraguay game. I imagine he'll go anyway and hope to be somewhere near fit for the later stages.

Not so bothered about Owen being out (if he is); but we're truely f**ked if Rooney is - just look what happened when he went off in the Euros.

How come there seems to be so many of these metatarsals injuries these days? Or have they always happened but just been big news in the last two World Cups?
