England captain and record goal-scorer Wayne Rooney has said he is confident that he has "a few years left" in his international football career, dismissing speculation that he could soon end his journey with his national side. A blow to the knee has kept Rooney out of action, whether at Manchester United or England, since last February and the emergence of strikers such as Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane and Leicester City's Jamie Vardy has led to questions over England head coach Roy Hodgson's reliance on Rooney during Euro 2016 in France next summer.
