The Three Lions' all-time leading goalscorer is set to earn his 120th cap in an upcoming friendly, but the value of one-off recall is being questioned
England’s decision to hand Wayne Rooney a recall for a friendly date with the United States has been questioned by Alan Shearer, with the D.C. United star considered to have been handed “a testimonial”.
The Football Association has confirmed that the former Manchester United and Everton forward will earn his 120th cap in a clash with the USA at Wembley on November 15.
That outing will come two years after his last appearance, with the Three Lions’ all-time leading goalscorer having slipped down the pecking order under Gareth Southgate and into international retirement.
