Pre
Match Press Conference Highlights |
On Wayne
Rooney
"Wayne will play," "He has to start so we can see how
far advanced he is, but we think he's fine. We could have
been tempted to use him at Derby on Sunday, but we decided
the extra few days’ training would help him."
"Other than that, it's the same squad," said SAF.
On Anderson
"Anderson is back training," "He started training
today with the first team and he could be ready for the
League Cup final." |
