The Football Association has warned Wayne Rooney after he claimed he wore longer studs in a 2006 game against Chelsea “so he could hurt someone”. The Athletic revealed earlier this month the FA made contact with the Derby County manager after the comments he made to the Mail On Sunday. The then Manchester United striker travelled with his team to London 16 years ago knowing Chelsea needed a point to win the Premier League title. In a recent interview, the 36-year-old said: “I changed my studs before the game.“I put longer studs in because I wanted to hurt someone.“If Chelsea won a point, they won the league. At that time, I couldn't take it.“The studs were legal. They were a legal size. But they were bigger than what I would normally wear.”Rooney and John Terry clashed during the game. Terry received treatment and his sock was stained with blood.It is understood Rooney has been warned by the FA after it sought his observations.(Photo: Getty Images)
