The Manchester United striker was forced out of England action after a training-ground collision with Phil Jones.

Pictures last week emerged of the deep gash and it was feared he may need plastic surgery.

Sam Saunt, who posted the picture on Twitter, wrote: "Thanks to @WayneRooney for taking time out to have this picture.... #legend"
