Rooney fit to face Chelsea

MANCHESTER, May 7 (Reuters): Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has recovered from a tight hamstring and will be fit for Sunday's huge match against Chelsea (1510 GMT), manager Alex Ferguson told a news conference Friday. Victory for United would leave them needing just one point from their two remaining games to claim a record 19th league title, while a win for Chelsea would put the London side top on goal difference to set up a nail-biting finale to the season. Chelsea striker Didier Drogba, the Premier League's top scorer last season, is not bothered that with 11 league goals this time he is far behind last year's total of 29 and is more concerned with catching United in the title race. "I love to score and I hope to create assists too," he said on the club's website (www.chelseafc.com). "I think a complete striker needs to be able to score and to create assists so whenever you don't score you know you can still be dangerous and help your team." Chelsea will be without injured defender Jose Bosingwa while midfielder Yuri Zhirkov will have a fitness test Saturday. Third-placed Arsenal, whose title hopes are little more than mathematical, will be without captain Cesc Fabregas (thigh) and midfielders Abou Diaby (calf) and Samir Nasri (hamstring) for Sunday's trip to Stoke City (1305).
