Rooney fit to face Burnley

Everton manager Ronald Koeman has confirmed that Wayne Rooney will be fit to face Burnley, Paul Joyce has reported.

Twitter: Rooney has had a scan on wrist this morning – no fracture. Koeman: “He is ok.” (@_pauljoyce)

The England international appeared to suffer a wrist injury, which saw him require treatment in Everton’s clash against Apollon Limassol in the Europa League on Thursday.

Rooney scored the Toffees’ first goal in the 2-2 draw against the Cypriot outfit as Everton succumbed to yet another underwhelming result in European competition.

The former Manchester United man has been a figure of controversy since his move in the summer, but has contributed with a considerable amount of goals and assists already.

Having Rooney available to Koeman will be a big boost for the Dutchman, who is looking to turn around a worrying patch of form for his side.

Koeman has also confirmed that Oumar Niasse will start against Burnley.
