England football captain Wayne Rooney has apologised after “inappropriate” photos of him the worse for wear at the team hotel were published. Interim manager Gareth Southgate said a review would be carried out of how players spend their free time while on international duty.

Rooney was thrown into the spotlight after The Sun tabloid alleged the Manchester United forward drunkenly gatecrashed a wedding at England’s hotel in Watford, north of London, on Saturday.

A statement issued on Rooney’s behalf, said: “Naturally, Wayne is sorry that pictures taken with fans have been published today. “He fully recognises the https://cdn.standardmedia.co.ke/images are inappropriate.”
