Wayne Rooneys three-match international ban reason delayed

UEFA have delayed giving the FA their written reasons behind Wayne Rooneys three-match international ban.

The explanation for the ban imposed on the England striker for kicking Miodrag Dzudovoic during the 2-2 draw with Montenegro was due today.

But last night the FA revealed the news had been delayed.

We may not be provided with the written reasons regarding Wayne Rooneys three-match suspension for another week at a minimum, read an FA statement.

Once the reasons are received, the FA will determine on any appeal after discussions with Fabio Capello and Wayne Rooney.

The FA will make a decision based on the full reasons but it would be a surprise if there is no appeal, given that a three-match international ban would rule the United
player out of all England's group matches at the Euro 2012 finals.

Boss Capello last week dropped a clear hint Rooney will be going to next summers tournament regardless.

The young players are really good and ready to play with the seniors, and the experience of the seniors is really important, said Capello.

During the games we need some leaders, people that know something.

Jack Wilshere is incredible because he is so young. We also need the experience of John Terry, Rio Ferdinand and Scott Parker. You need this kind of player, plus Rooney, I hope.
