Wayne Rooney: England can win without me

Wayne Rooney says that England can beat France and Sweden without him in the team.

England striker Wayne Rooney does not believe that his teammates will struggle in his absence at Euro 2012.

The Manchester United star will sit out the opening two matches, against France and Sweden, after being sent off in the Three Lions' final qualifying fixture against Montenegro.

However, Rooney has said that Roy Hodgson's men are capable of winning without him.

"I've seen enough to believe we will be fine without me for those games," said Rooney.

"I think four or five points will get us through the group and we're capable of beating France and Sweden."

Rooney's initial three-match ban was reduced to two on appeal.
