Wayne Rooney to Miss Final Game of Premier League Season Through Injury as DC United Move Looms

Everton striker Wayne Rooney is set to miss the club's final game of the Premier League season through injury.

Sam Allardyce's men travel to West Ham on Sunday but the Daily Mail report that they will be without their top goalscorer and second highest assist maker this season.

Rooney reported for training at Everton's Finch Farm training ground on Friday, but left at noon - several hours before the rest of his teammates - amid reports of a summer transfer to Major League Soccer outfit DC United.

The news comes after Sam Allardyce had confirmed in his press conference that Rooney was 'fit and in training' less than two hours before the former Manchester United striker left the training ground.
