Wayne Rooney rushed to the hospital with gashed leg after on-pitch collision

Wayne Rooney went down clutching his knee while playing for Manchester United. He was left with a deep gash in his leg, a wound so serious it had to be treated in hospital.

 He was kept in hospital overnight, but was today discharged from hospital after receiving stitches.

 Rooney is expected to be out of action for about a month, which means he could miss England's World Cup qualifying matches against Moldova and Ukraine.
