Roy Hodgson happy to be able to call on Wayne Rooney

There was some doubt over Rooney's fitness given he has managed just 45 minutes of pre-season thus far for Manchester United.

United boss David Moyes has already admitted that he does not think that Rooney will be fit enough to feature in Sunday's Community Shield against Wigan at Wembley - but seemingly just days later he will play against Scotland.

"Obviously he is not fully match fit and that is pretty obvious," Hodgson told Sky Sports News.

"But the important thing for me was to have him in the squad and assess how many minutes he can play in the game and we will have to see and assess him when we meet up."

Hodgson says he did speak with Moyes before naming Rooney.
