I\u2019ve been in the hospital and I\u2019m back on Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The former Manchester United player later added: \u201cLook at that for a save! I saved that and hurt my hand. I&#8217;m seeing a surgeon on Monday to see if I need surgery. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy the way, just for the newspapers out there, I haven&#8217;t got my wedding ring on because my fingers have swollen up &#8211; I know they will make a big thing! It&#8217;s hurt but it&#8217;ll be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rooney re-joined Everton shortly after Pickford moved there from Sunderland in 2017. They had previously met on England duty, with Pickford saying: \u201cI watched you growing up and when I was watching you in the Euros and getting in an England squad, everyone looked up to you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo even then [on the bus] I was texting saying: &#8216;I&#8217;m opposite Wazza.&#8217; I was shaking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was on the bench and it was a great experience. My dream was to play for England. We know there&#8217;s only that small percentage of kids growing up get that opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inside Sport newsletter: Get an expert guide to the biggest moments shaping the world of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1937,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1936","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/betreview.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a1a59a035d5dcaafca5559b9c88bfe83Y29udGVudHNlYXJjaGFwaSwxNzc3NTAwMTA2-2.84405236.jpg",1200,800,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/betreview.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a1a59a035d5dcaafca5559b9c88bfe83Y29udGVudHNlYXJjaGFwaSwxNzc3NTAwMTA2-2.84405236-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/betreview.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a1a59a035d5dcaafca5559b9c88bfe83Y29udGVudHNlYXJjaGFwaSwxNzc3NTAwMTA2-2.84405236-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/betreview.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a1a59a035d5dcaafca5559b9c88bfe83Y29udGVudHNlYXJjaGFwaSwxNzc3NTAwMTA2-2.84405236-768x512.jpg",640,427,true],"large":["https:\/\/betreview.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a1a59a035d5dcaafca5559b9c88bfe83Y29udGVudHNlYXJjaGFwaSwxNzc3NTAwMTA2-2.84405236-1024x683.jpg",640,427,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/betreview.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a1a59a035d5dcaafca5559b9c88bfe83Y29udGVudHNlYXJjaGFwaSwxNzc3NTAwMTA2-2.84405236.jpg",1200,800,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/betreview.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a1a59a035d5dcaafca5559b9c88bfe83Y29udGVudHNlYXJjaGFwaSwxNzc3NTAwMTA2-2.84405236.jpg",1200,800,false],"covernews-slider-full":["https:\/\/betreview.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a1a59a035d5dcaafca5559b9c88bfe83Y29udGVudHNlYXJjaGFwaSwxNzc3NTAwMTA2-2.84405236-1115x715.jpg",1115,715,true],"covernews-slider-center":["https:\/\/betreview.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a1a59a035d5dcaafca5559b9c88bfe83Y29udGVudHNlYXJjaGFwaSwxNzc3NTAwMTA2-2.84405236-800x500.jpg",800,500,true],"covernews-featured":["https:\/\/betreview.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a1a59a035d5dcaafca5559b9c88bfe83Y29udGVudHNlYXJjaGFwaSwxNzc3NTAwMTA2-2.84405236-1024x683.jpg",1024,683,true],"covernews-medium":["https:\/\/betreview.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a1a59a035d5dcaafca5559b9c88bfe83Y29udGVudHNlYXJjaGFwaSwxNzc3NTAwMTA2-2.84405236-540x340.jpg",540,340,true],"covernews-medium-square":["https:\/\/betreview.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/a1a59a035d5dcaafca5559b9c88bfe83Y29udGVudHNlYXJjaGFwaSwxNzc3NTAwMTA2-2.84405236-400x250.jpg",400,250,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"admin","author_link":"https:\/\/betreview.net\/?author=1"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/betreview.net\/?cat=6\" rel=\"category\">Sports<\/a>","tag_info":"Sports","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/betreview.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1936","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/betreview.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/betreview.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/betreview.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/betreview.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1936"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/betreview.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1936\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/betreview.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1937"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/betreview.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1936"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/betreview.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1936"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/betreview.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1936"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
