Rooney hoping injury for Arsenal's Oxlade-Chamberlain not serious

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney hopes a knee injury for England teammate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain isn't serious.

For the draw with Ecuador, the Arsenal midfielder had to come off in the second half with a knee injury he suffered following a collision with Carlos Gruezo.

Rooney hopes Oxlade-Chamberlain, who will have a scan on the injury on Thursday, is not ruled out of the World Cup.

"Obviously we don't know the extent of it, I am sure the doctors will look at him overnight and we'll see how it is but hopefully he will be OK," Rooney added.
