England forward Wayne Rooney will have to sit out of Manchester United’s match against Newcastle on Sunday owing to a toe injury, and could miss the return leg to Munich on Wednesday.
“It is a toe injury and they are never easy when you get one,” Manchester United manager Moyes told reporters last week after United’s 1-1 draw against Bayern Munich at Old Trafford. “It will be touch and go for Wayne for Wednesday. You could see him limping in the game towards the end quite badly.”

“There is not an awful lot you can do with a toe injury. Sometimes you can feel better quite quickly with them and sometimes you need an injection possibly to play with it, if it is bruising. With a lot of toe injuries you have to make sure there isn’t a hairline fracture or crack in your toe. We will have all that checked.”
“You look at what Wayne has done for us in the last league games, for instance,” Moyes added. “Against Aston Villa he scored two goals. There were a couple at West Ham, including that special goal. My focus is Newcastle and making sure we get a result there. Wayne has been an integral part of that because of the goals he scores for us. He is a miss for that, never mind going forward.”
Rooney’s absence will have come as a shock to the supporters as United are already without Dutch striker Robin van Persie who is out injured with a knee problem.
