Why has the FA contacted Wayne Rooney?
After Derby's 3-1 win over Hull on Tuesday, Rooney said: "It's something I don’t really want to talk about, I’m sure that will get dealt with."
The FA has made contact with former Manchester United player Wayne Rooney after he claimed he wore longer studs in a 2006 game against Chelsea "so he could hurt someone".
Rooney and United went to Stamford Bridge in 2006 knowing Chelsea only needed a point to lift the Premier League title.
Speaking to the Mail On Sunday about the game, the current Derby County manager said: "I changed my studs before the game. I put longer studs in because I wanted to hurt someone.
"If Chelsea won a point, they won the league. At that time, I couldn't take it. The studs were legal. They were a legal size. But they were bigger than what I would normally wear."
Rooney injures Terry
Rooney caught Chelsea captain John Terry during the game. Terry received treatment and his sock was stained with blood.
Earlier this week, Terry laughed off Rooney's admission. The former Chelsea player posted on Twitter: "[Wayne Rooney] is this when you left your stud in my foot?"
