Rooney may miss more games with groin injury – Moyes

David Moyes has admitted that Wayne Rooney miss sit out some games this season, because of a groin injury he is carrying.
The 28-year-old Manchester United striker, was a soubt for the 2-1 defeat at home to Tottenham Hotspur on New Year’s Day, but started the game eventually.

Moyes defended his selection, by saying that he was unable to rest Rooney, because of United’s busy schedule over the festive period.
“The plan was to play Wayne for 90 minutes [against Tottenham], but he has a bit of a groin injury,” Moyes said.
“The longer it went on, we had to try to get more attacking players on the pitch to try and find more ways to score.
“If I could [rest Rooney] I would, but the games are coming thick and fast.
“He has missed a game with his groin and he may well miss some more coming up.”
