England coach Fabio Capello says striker Wayne Rooney is fully fit for England\'s World Cup campaign.



Rooney suffered knee, ankle and groin problems over the last two months of the season, but Capello is certain Rooney\'s problems are behind him.



Capello says Rooney is fine and he is 100 per cent ready.



England play their last warm-up game against Japan in Graz on Sunday before playing the United States in their opening World Cup match in Rustenburg on June 12.
