		</div><p>Wayne Rooney has been ruled out of England’s Euro 2016 qualifier against Estonia, the Football Association has announced.</p>
<p>Rooney has not trained with the England squad this week because of an ankle injury he suffered in Manchester United’s 3-0 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday.</p>
<p>An FA statement read: “Wayne Rooney has been ruled out of England’s Euro 2016 qualifier against Estonia so vice-captain Gary Cahill will lead the Three Lions out at Wembley Stadium on Friday night.”</p>
<p>Having missed all three training sessions at St George&#8217;s Park this week, it was always likely that Rooney would sit out the dead rubber qualifier at Wembley.</p>
<p>Despite the injury, Rooney has remained with the squad this week, and the FA said the skipper will be present at Friday’s game in north London.</p>
<p>The FA is honouring the United and England skipper for breaking Sir Bobby Charlton’s scoring record last month.</p>
<p>Rooney surpassed Charlton’s 49-goal tally with a penalty against Switzerland last month.</p>
<p>The 1966 World Cup-winning forward will present Rooney with a golden boot on Friday, and a 20m x 20m surfer flag with an image of the striker on it will be passed over fans prior to kick-off.</p>
<p>Manager Roy Hodgson is expected to reveal at a press conference this afternoon whether Rooney will travel Lithuania for the final Euro 2016 qualifier in Vilnius on Monday.</p>
<p>In Rooney’s absence, Cahill will captain England for the first time against the Estonians on Friday night.</p>
<p>Danny Ings is a doubt for the game against the Baltic nation because of an ankle injury.</p>
<p>The Liverpool forward missed training again on Thursday, as did Rooney and his Manchester United team-mate Michael Carrick.</p>
<p>Swansea midfielder Jonjo Shelvey, who missed the first two sessions of the week, did train with his team-mates, however.</p>
