Wayne Rooney set for shock England return for U.S. friendly at Wembley

Former England captain Wayne Rooney is in line for an unexpected one-off return to the Three Lions side to face the U.S. in November at Wembley.

The 33-year-old forward has not played for his country since November 2016, having announced his international retirement the following August with immediate effect.

But, according to various UK media outlets including BBC, Sky Sports and The Sun, the D.C. United striker will feature one more time for the national side and win his 120th cap when Gareth Southgate’s side face the United States men's national team in a charity friendly on Thursday November 15.
