Manchester United interim manager Ryan Giggs says Phil Jones and Wayne Rooney will both be fit to play for England at this summer’s World Cup in Brazil.
.
United defender Jones, 22, injured his shoulder in Tuesday’s 3-1 win against Hull, while forward Rooney, 28, has had a minor groin problem.
.
England manager Roy Hodgson will name a provisional 30-man squad for the World Cup on Monday.
.
On Rooney, Giggs said: “He is training and will be fine for the World Cup.”
.
The Welshman added: “He has just started over the last couple of days. Sunday is a little bit too quick for him.”
.
Jones will also be absent from the United squad that will travel to Southampton on the final day of the Premier League season.
.
“The injury is not as bad as I thought,” Giggs said.
.
“He won’t be fit for Sunday but he will be OK for the World Cup.”
.
Speaking about his own future amid speculation Louis van Gaal is set to be appointed United manager, Giggs added: “My stance is not any different to what it was last week.
.
“Nothing has been announced yet and my job is to prepare the team for Southampton.
.
“Obviously it has been a difficult season for everyone and when the management situation gets sorted out then we can move on. That will probably be in the next couple of weeks.
.
“I have enjoyed the whole experience and it has definitely helped me prepare for what will come after my playing career.”
