LONDON -- Wayne Rooney will miss two key World Cup qualifiers after being forced to pull out of the England squad on Sunday with a head injury. Nike Shox r4 For Sale . Rooney is facing three weeks out after cutting his forehead during a training-ground collision with teammate Phil Jones at Manchester United. "Its bad," United manager David Moyes said. "Its right down the middle of his forehead and it will take a while to heal. He turned round and Phil Jones just lifted his boot as his head came in." Jones and right back Glen Johnson are also out of Englands matches against Moldova and Ukraine after injuring ankles in Uniteds 1-0 loss to Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday. There is also a doubt over Liverpool goal scorer Daniel Sturridge due to a groin injury, which restricted him at Anfield, according to club manager Brendan Rodgers. The other strikers in Englands squad are Rickie Lambert, Jermain Defoe and Danny Welbeck. Cardiff defender Steven Caulker, who has only played once for England, is the only reinforcement so far added to the national squad. Englands World Cup hopes are far from secure, with Roy Hodgsons team second in its qualifying group -- two points behind Montenegro with a game in hand and with four matches left. Only the group winner qualifies automatically with the runner-up facing a playoff. England hosts Moldova at Wembley on Friday and travels to Kyiv to play third-place Ukraine on Sept. 10. The injury setbacks came after Hodgson complained that his talent pool is severely limited by foreign players packing Premier League teams. Barely 30 per cent of the players in action in the Premier League are English, according to Hodgson, who is unhappy that overseas imports are used as quick-fix solution by managers, blocking the paths of homegrown prospects into the teams. None of last seasons top seven sides -- Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, Everton and Liverpool -- has so far signed an Englishman in the summer transfer window after collectively spending hundreds of millions of dollars on imports. Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore recently said that there were more than 200 English players in the topflight last season. But Hodgson disputes that statistic. "I would defy anyone to come up with 240 (English) names in the Premier League," the former Liverpool, West Bromwich Albion and Fulham manager said. "I dont think, quite frankly, you would be able to come up to 30 or 40." Thats a problem when Hodgson has to pick a squad that can qualify for the World Cup, and is then capable of competing with the leading nations in Brazil next year. Hodgson is concerned that, although the leading clubs have English players on their books, they arent always first-team regulars because "their way is blocked by extremely talented players." Hodgson even doubts whether David Beckham would have been given an opportunity to shine had he been breaking into football today. The former England captain emerged from Uniteds renowned "Class of 92" -- members of that years youth team, also including Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt, and brothers Gary and Phil Neville, who became regulars for their club and England. "What would have become of the Nevilles, Beckham, Scholes, (Welsh winger Ryan) Giggs, (Nicky) Butt had it not been the fact the time when they were growing up the manager (Alex Ferguson) did take a chance," Hodgson said. "They didnt go rushing out and buy a foreigner every time." Hodgson points now to Tottenham, which has invested close to 100 million pounds ($150 million) on a string of overseas recruits in 2013, limiting opportunities for English players at White Hart Lane, including 21-year-old midfielder Tom Carroll. "They are players who are too good to let go but they are finding it hard to get games," Hodgson said. Nike Shox Nz White . Kripps, of Summerland, B.C., and Edmontons Barnett used a terrific second run to move up two spots, putting the Canadian duo in medal contention with the final two runs set for Monday (11:15 a.m. ET, streaming live at cbc.

Next up is another showdown with Michigan. Payne scored 18 points, Branden Dawson had 14 and No. 22 Michigan State beat No. 12 Wisconsin 83-75 on Saturday to reach the Big Ten tournament championship. SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Tommy Wingels fit right in with new linemates Logan Couture and Patrick Marleau after Brent Burns returned to the ice for the San Jose Sharks. Wingels scored two goals and Marleau added a goal and two assists to help the Sharks get their first home win in more than a month with a 5-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night. "Its fun scoring goals in this league," Wingels said. "Patty and Logan on both of those plays made really nice passes, and I happened to be the beneficiary of it." Couture added three assists, and the trio helped shut down Martin St. Louis on Tampas top line to give the Sharks the win in their first game back following a winding, five-game road trip in which they changed time zones after every game. Burns and Brad Stuart also scored for the Sharks, and Antti Niemi made 36 saves. Tyler Johnson scored for the Lightning, who dropped their season-worst third straight game on a rough West Coast trip that ends Friday night in Anaheim. Tampa Bay has been outscored 16-6 in losses to Phoenix, Los Angeles and San Jose as they are struggling since losing star centre Steven Stamkos to a broken right leg last week. "There have been six points on the table, and we have yet to find one," coach Jon Cooper said. "To me this is a rough trip. Things had been going our way for a long time this year to start the season, and now not so much." Since beating Calgary on Oct. 19, the Sharks have gone on a pair of five-game road trips around a winless three-game homestand that featured a pair of shootout losses. They found their winning touch at home again at the start of a season-high, five-game homestand. Wingels played a big part in his first career two-goal game. He got the scoring started early in the first period and then with the Lightning making a strong push in the second, Wingels added his second goal. Marleau found him with a slick pass from behind the net, and Wingels one-timed it past Anders Lindback on the short side for his seventh goal of the season. That is one shy of his career total in 80 games coming into the season. "Hes playing with so much confidence right now," captain Joe Thornton said. Nike Shox r4. . "That line looked dangerous all night long. Good for Tommy to keep it going. Patty looked great, Logan looked great. They did a good job for us." San Jose broke it open with two goals in a 19-second span early in the third. Burns, back after missing 13 games with an upper-body injury, got the first when Thorntons deflection of Scott Hannans shot-pass hit his leg on the way into the net. "I didnt do anything. But hey, I dont say no to them," Burns said. Marleau then scored his 11th goal following the next faceoff to make it 5-0. Lindback, making his fifth start of the season in place of Ben Bishop, made 31 saves but got no offensive support in the loss. The Sharks got off to another fast start with two goals in the first period. San Jose has outscored the opposition 30-12 in the first, a big part of the teams success in the first quarter of the season. Couture and Marleau won a battle in the corner to get it started, setting up Wingels in the slot for his first goal. The Lightning had their chances in the first period, including a power play when they spent the entire 2 minutes in the offensive zone, but Niemi stopped all three shots. Stuart added to the lead late in the period with a point shot that beat Lindback, putting the Lightning in a 2-0 hole in the first period for the third straight game. "Anytime you are down 2-0 to start a game it is always pretty tough to get back into it," Johnson said. "The pucks are just going in. We have to be better." NOTES: Jim Craig, the goaltender on the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team that won the gold medal, got a warm ovation when he was interviewed after the second period. ... The Sharks avoided their first four-game home losing streak since dropping six straight in 2010-11. ... The Sharks improved to 8-0-1 with Burns in the lineup and are averaging 4.9 goals per game in those contests. ... The Lightning had won their first seven games against Western Conference teams before losing three straight on this trip.
