England's Wayne Rooney has dismissed reports he is struggling with injuries ahead of this summer's World Cup.

Striker Rooney, 24, had ankle and groin problems last season and also suffered from a stiff neck in England's 3-1 friendly win over Mexico on Monday.

But he said: "Fitness-wise I feel good. I have been in every training session with England since we got together.

"I haven't got an ankle problem, that story's a load of rubbish. I had a bit of a stiff neck but that should pass."

Rooney is arguably England's key player ahead of the World Cup finals in South Africa after a stunning season in which he scored 34 goals for Manchester United.
