Jamie Carragher

Was that one of the reasons you brought him off?

Because he actually think of the substitutions in the game.

Sven, we get to 2006, your last tournament with England.

A problem now for Gareth Southgate is talk of injuries to Rashford and Harry Kane.

Obviously Rooney had an injury I think very late in the season, metatarsal.

Do you actually look back and

with more experience of that, do you think it's still the right thing to do to take injured players or do you think it actually didn't work for England?

Not just with him, obviously, I think David Beckham, I think in 2002 also.

He was not regular at that time.

I was in the squad, but there's no doubt in the squad when the squad gets picked, players talk about who's in the squad, who's missed out.

It was a big surprise Theo Walcott was in it because he hadn't played for Arsenal.

Was a lot of that your conversations with Arsene Wenger?

Because you couldn't have seen him play too much.

Not too much.

Maybe Jermaine Defoe.

Going back to Rooney with the injury, how tough a fight was that for you to actually get him to the World Cup?

Because obviously Manchester United is their superstar player.

They want to get him ready for next season.

Was that always a problem for you between club and country?

Sven, we can't not mention penalties in the two tournaments you lose to Portugal.
