Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney is likely to miss the start of the Premier League season because of a virus he picked up during his club's trip to Nigeria, manager Alex Ferguson said on Tuesday.
Rooney has not trained since returning from Nigeria, where Premier League champions United played FA Cup winners Portsmouth in a friendly in Abuja on July 27.
The 22-year-old did not play in that match and has missed his club's two subsequent pre-season fixtures against Espanyol and Peterborough.
