Wayne Rooney traveled with D.C. United to Denver on Thursday after recovering from what the MLS organization described as flu-like symptoms.

Coach Ben Olsen confirmed that Rooney was well enough to accompany the team for Saturday’s match against the Colorado Rapids.

The English star had not attended United’s home game Tuesday -- he was serving a red-card suspension but expected to report to Audi Field, nonetheless -- and did not practice Wednesday.

The team set aside Thursday for travel and will train Friday in the Denver area.

Barring any setbacks, Rooney will start for United (3-1-2) against the Rapids (0-4-2) at DSG Park in Commerce City, Colo.
