Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney will learn today the length of his international suspension after being sent off for England in Montenegro on Friday.

Rooney should receive a three-match suspension for violent conduct if UEFA's disciplinary regulations are followed to the letter, but the Football Association are hoping a more lenient sanction will be imposed.

UEFA's control and disciplinary body will make their decision late this afternoon and there real fears he could miss all of England's three group matches in the Euro 2012 finals next summer.

Rooney was shown a straight red by referee Wolfgang Stark for kicking Miodrag Dzudovic.
