England captain Wayne Rooney dropped for Slovenia game

Wayne Rooney has been dropped for England’s World Cup game against Slovenia on Tuesday.

Rooney is England’s most-capped outfield player, winning his 117th cap in the 2-0 victory against Malta on Saturday.

However, his performances recently have been heavily criticised and the 30-year-old was booed by sections of the Wembley crowd at the weekend, when he operated in a deep-lying midfield role.
