Hodgson: I miss Roo

ROY HODGSON has sent an SOS to Wayne Rooney, insisting: I need Roo.

The England boss knows too many chances were missed as his side salvaged a 1-1 draw from Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier against Ukraine.

ROO-TURN ... Roy wants Wayne back

Now he wants the injured Manchester United striker back for next month’s double header at home to minnows San Marino and away to Poland.

Hodgson said: “The sooner Wayne comes back into our fold the better. We are short of experienced, quality front players in England.”

Against Ukraine, England played Jermain Defoe on his own up front before bringing on the inexperienced Danny Welbeck and Daniel Sturridge.

There have been questions about Rooney’s general fitness and the fact he has not delivered in major finals. His Euro 2012 performance was heavily criticised.
