As Manchester United continue to get ready for their crucial Champions League clash with Bayern Munich in the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night, their star player, Wayne Rooney has been reported ready to take part in the match by taking painkillers injection.

It is believed that Rooney might have suffered a chipped bone in his foot in the 1-1 first leg at Old Trafford – and not a badly bruised toe as first thought.
United boss David Moyes hinted that a painkilling injection was a possibility on Friday after revealing that his 17-goal striker would miss the trip to Newcastle.
"There is not an awful lot you can do with a toe injury,’ said Moyes. "Sometimes you can feel better quite quickly and sometimes you need an injection possibly to play with it if it is bruising.
"You have to make sure there isn’t a hairline fracture or crack in your toe. We will have all that checked."
After the Newcastle United game played on Saturday, Moyes was reported to have said that Rooney was back at Carrington doing work in the pool in a bid to be fit for Wednesday’s quarter-final in Germany.
He added: "We have worked him hard on the bike and in the swimming pool, Friday and today (Saturday) and we will give him every opportunity to be fit."
Moyes' revelation underlines just how desperate Rooney is to play against Munich, despite seeing a similar move backfire against the Germans four years ago.
The England striker suffered an ankle injury at the Allianz Arena when United last met Bayern in the Champions League quarter-finals in 2010, and his determination to play in the second leg ended in him limping off after 55 minutes at Old Trafford – was later blamed for a poor showing at the 2010 World Cup.
