Wayne Rooney will be fit to play for England against Egypt at Wembley this week.

Canadian sports betting fans will find they have plenty of options when they consult the fixtures this week.

There are international football matches scheduled around the globe as countries prepare for this summer's World Cup finals in South Africa.

One of the intriguing match-ups takes place at Wembley, where Fabio Capello's England team take on Africa Cup of Nations champions Egypt on Wednesday night.

Wayne Rooney is one of the most in-form players in world football at the moment, after notching up the winning goal for Manchester United in the Carling Cup final against Aston Villa last weekend.

The striker was expected to pull out of the England squad with a knee injury but has made himself available for the game.

Rooney will be looking to continue a fine streak of form that has seen him begin to reap the rewards of training ground efforts to work on his heading ability, with many of his recent goals coming from crosses.

However, England may not have it all their own way and Egypt should not be written off.

They have won the last three African Nations tournaments, although they missed out on qualification for the World Cup to bitter rivals Algeria in a play-off.

Other matches that may interest sports betting fans include France against Spain, Ireland versus Brazil and Italy against the Ivory Coast.
