McClaren: No Rooney problemEngland boss Steve McClaren has dismissed any reports suggesting that he had a fall out with star striker Wayne Rooney directly after the 0-0 draw with Israel.
"It is an absolute load of rubbish," said McClaren.
"I don't read many newspapers, but what I have been hearing and there are two or three things which are an absolute load of rubbish.
"People are just trying to stir things and we are angry and disappointed about them.
"If it was true, yes, you could accept that, but it's an absolute load of rubbish.
"The belief and the togetherness of the squad has never been better.
"What happens in the dressing room is private and stays private and I don't want to discuss that, but to say there is a rift between me and Wayne Rooney is absolutely ridiculous.
"We are professional together, we get on well with each other and I have great respect for him and he has for me.
"And it is an absolute load of rubbish to say there is a rift."
