Wayne Rooney 'out of West Ham United game with knee injury'

Wayne Rooney may have played his last game in English football as he has reportedly been ruled out of Everton's meeting with West Ham United through a knee injury.

The 32-year-old was absent from the squad to face Southampton last weekend and is not expected to be involved at the London Stadium on Sunday.

According to Sky Sports News, the ex-England international missed training on Friday afternoon and the knee problem is serious enough to keep him sidelined for the final weekend of the campaign.

As speculation continues to gather pace regarding Rooney's future, with a move to Major League Soccer side DC United said to be on the cards, the former Manchester United ace's 14-year Premier League career could now be over.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Friday, Everton boss Sam Allardyce admitted that the striker-cum-midfielder is free to leave should he wish.
