England boss Fabio Capello has revealed he forgot to tell Wayne Rooney he would be suspended if he got booked against Wales.
Rooney has been ruled out of June’s Euro 2012 qualifier against Switzerland through suspension after being booked during England’s 2-0 win at the Millennium Stadium.
The Manchester United man was cautioned after a foul on Wales midfielder Joe Ledley during the first half to mark his second booking of the qualifying campaign, meaning he will miss the visit of Switzerland in the summer.
Capello admits they usually remind players who have bans hanging over them, but forgot to inform Rooney on Saturday.
“Usually we remind them. This time we didn’t,” said Capello. “Rooney misses the next game and when I told him he said ‘Why?’
“He was surprised. He didn’t realise he’s been booked before.”
Capello then claimed he replaced Rooney 20 minutes from time to ensure the striker didn’t get sent off, even though he had played for over half an hour with the threat hanging over him.
“Rooney wants to win every tackle. I changed him because he would have been sent off with a second yellow card,” concluded Capello.
