Manchester City midfielder James Milner has been grilled by media reporters at England's press conference about Wayne Rooney's alleged affair. The former Aston Villa man refused to speak about the team's mentality on the situation or Rooney's state of mind on the matter...

This morning two Sunday tabloids - The Sunday Mirror and News Of The World claimed exclusives on an alleged affair between Wayne Rooney and a prostitute. 21-year-old Jennifer Thompson said Rooney had cheated on wife Coleen while she was pregnant with their baby boy, Kai.

We understand the attention-seeker received over £400,000 for her story, which is widely believed to have been fabricated in an attempt to earn easy money. In one part of her interview, she claims Wayne muttered 'f*cking w*nker' when former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo walked past them in a Mancunian bar.

The prostitute claims she had the affair when Coleen was pregnant - which was last winter, however Cristiano Ronaldo had left Manchester United months earlier. There is also conflicting interviews in both tabloids, despite the interviews coming from the same woman.

Rooney, his representatives or the club have failed to make light of the reports thus far. Sources close to The FA said they expect Rooney to travel home on compassionate grounds, after talks with Fabio Capello - who faces a tough test against Switzerland in Basel for the European Championship Qualifiers on Tuesday. James Milner was then asked about the situation this lunchtime in Watford, as he spoke on behalf of the squad.

"He (Wayne Rooney) did the full session, we are back to football which is what we are here to do. I think he is one of the best players on the field as he showed the other night, he is a top-top player and we want to put out the best team possible." Milner told the press.

"He is a top-player, he showed that on Friday and he trained fully today, you will have to ask him any other questions. We have got to make sure things don't (effect the squad), things are always said in the papers, good things, bad things, that is part and parcel of football and we have to make sure the only things that matter happens on the pitch." he explained.

"We are here to win a football match, we had a good result on Friday and we want a good result Tuesday. You're going to have to ask him the other questions..."
