Rooney - insists he doesn't blame the FAWayne Rooney insists he does not blame the Football Association for failing to overturn the three-match ban he picked up for his sending off in a pre-season friendly.
The England striker was sent off while playing for Manchester United against Porto in Amsterdam and the suspension imposed by the Dutch FA was upheld by their counterparts at Soho Square.
Coupled with a two-match international suspension for his red card in the World Cup quarter-final against Portugal in the summer, Rooney has featured in just six competitive games so far this season and looks as though he is lacking in match sharpness.
Reports had suggested the 20-year-old was unimpressed by the way the FA dealt with the situation.
But a spokesman for Rooney said: "Wayne does not blame the FA for any aspect of his current game.
"He is wholly committed in every way to England."
Rooney is expected to start for England despite his off-colour form in the forthcoming Euro 2008 qualifiers against Macedonia and Croatia.
