Wayne Rooney sustained minor ligament damage and did not break a bone in Manchester United\'s Champions League loss at Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
While Rooney will miss Manchester United\'s match against Chelsea on Saturday, the Premier League leaders haven\'t given a timeframe for Rooney\'s return to action.
The England international hurt his ankle in the final minute of Tuesday\'s 2-1 loss in Germany.
Manager Alex Ferguson will provide an update at his weekly Friday media conference.
The fact there is no fracture should boost Rooney\'s hopes of being fit for England\'s World Cup opener against the United States on June 12 in South Africa.
Rooney was England\'s top scorer during World Cup qualifying with nine goals.
