Wayne Rooney reveals painful reason he wore cast during FA Cup final punditry

Wayne Rooney may need surgery after hurting his wrist saving a Jordan Pickford shot during a recording for a BBC programme.

The former England and Manchester United captain was wearing a cast as he did punditry work on the BBC during the FA Cup final.

And the 40-year-old explained what had happened and the next steps in his recovery during Saturday’s coverage.

“Well, as you see I was in goal at Everton,” he said as a recording of him diving to his left to push away a shot from England and Everton goalkeeper Pickford was screened.

“Look at that for a save. I saved that and then hurt my hand, so I’m seeing a surgeon on Monday to see if I need surgery.”

Fellow pundit Micah Richards injected with: “Are you ever going to grow up?”

Rooney, who also added the injury was why he was not wearing his wedding ring, added: “It hurt but it’ll be fine.”
