Manchester United's Wayne Rooney Hospitalised With Head Injury - Report
'Wazza' may have sailed to the top with Man United, but when it comes to yachting, it seems the striker could use some practice...
It is believed that Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney suffered a concussion after slipping on a yacht while on holiday in France with his wife Coleen.
Doctors in the St. Tropez clinic kept the Red Devils star in for two and a half hours before releasing him.
"He cut his head and everyone was worried he may have concussion so he was taken for a check-up," an insider is quoted as saying in the Mirror.
"Wayne might have looked like he was trying to keep a low profile by wearing a cap and hoodie but he was probably trying to hide his cut."
It is also said that whilst waiting to be treated, the 23-year-old had been spotted going in and out of the clinic to make phone calls. The England star supposedly anxiously chewed his nails as he spoke.
However, Rooney was given the green light to leave after the doctors were happy that there was no serious damage.
