Talented England striker Wayne Rooney will be out of action for up to a month, coach Sven-Goran Eriksson said on Thursday after England's quarter-final defeat by Portugal.

Eriksson said that Rooney, who limped off in the first half, had broken a bone in his foot.

"It's the same injury as Beckham before the World Cup, he will be out maybe a month," Eriksson said.
