Rooney scandal reports

The striker has been the subject of reports in the News of the World and Sunday Mirror that he had secret hotel sex sessions with a £1,000-a-night prostitute while his wife Coleen was pregnant with their son last year.

However, FA sources indicated to the Press Association that no decision has yet been taken and as it stands, Rooney is expected on the flight.

The Manchester United star is an integral part of England coach Fabio Capello's team, even though it is now 11 matches since he last scored for his country.

He claimed three assists and had a hand in the other goal as England opened its qualification campaign on Friday with an impressive 4-0 win over Bulgaria at Wembley.

England takes on fellow World Cup contender Switzerland in Basel.

Following the withdrawal of Peter Crouch through injury, aside from Rooney, Capello has only three other strikers to call upon.

His other options are Darren Bent, Carlton Cole and Jermain Defoe, who profited most from his forward partner's creative talents by scoring his first international hat-trick.
