Champions League - Rooney becomes a father

Eurosport - Mon, 02 Nov 15:28:00 2009

Manchester United star Wayne Rooney became a father for the first time on Monday, when wife Coleen gave birth to a baby boy.

FOOTBALL 2009-2010 Premier League Manchester United Rooney - 0

The Rooneys have named their first son Kai Wayne, who was born at the Liverpool Women's Hospital at 2.20pm on Monday afternoon.

Sources claim Rooney was with Coleen throughout the birth.

An insider said: "Wayne was a star with Coleen. He didn't leave her side from the moment she came into the hospital.

"When Col gave birth, Wayne's eyes welled up. As soon as he was handed the baby the tears began.

"He was over the moon and was saying 'I can't believe it.'"

Sir Alex Ferguson will wait for news from Rooney before deciding whether to include his star striker in United's Champions League game with CSKA Moscow.

"It depends on the situation with his wife," Ferguson said ahead of the birth. "She is pregnant and in hospital at the moment so we just have to wait on that one."

Strike partner Dimitar Berbatov is also doubtful after taking a blow on the kneecap against Blackburn on Saturday while Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand (both knee) and Ryan Giggs (hip) have already been ruled out.

Park Ji-Sung will not be considered either, with Ferguson confirming the South Korean has been put on a two-week fitness programme after suffering a series of minor ailments.

But Gary Neville is back from suspension and Scotland star Darren Fletcher will start after a month out with an ankle injury.

    A big congrate Wayne Rooney.Thank God you are now a­ father and I very much believe u are a Christian. I­ will advice that you change that name Kai to a name­ that has lots of meanings and or authority. Names like­ David, Justin, Paul etc.
    Want to see the new father­ score against CSKA in Champs league.
