New England captain Wayne Rooney has been described as "a bit chubby" by one of the players he will encounter in tomorrow night's friendly with Norway.

Ex-Southampton defender Vegard Forren has made the comments ahead of a contest which is expected to be played at a less-than-half full Wembley.

Speaking to a Norwegian TV station, Forren said: "Rooney looks a bit chubby. They’re obviously good players, and many of them are on good form already after three games in the Premier League, but we’re looking forward to it."
