Wayne Rooney will be presented with an award next month if he breaks or equals England's all-time scoring record in the coming days.

With the Three Lions facing minnows San Marino in Serravalle on Saturday and then taking on Switzerland at home three days later, Rooney, 29, stands a good chance of breaking Sir Bobby Charlton's record over the next week.

The England captain's current total stands at 48 goals, just one shy of the World Cup-winning former Manchester United forward.

The Football Association does not plan to honour the striker until next month, however, as it does not want to be too presumptuous on the matter.

It is reported that the FA instead plans to honour Rooney with some kind of trophy or plaque before England's next home game against Estonia on Oct. 9.

Exact details are yet to be confirmed, but it is expected that the FA will invite Charlton to hand the award to the United captain on the pitch before kickoff.
