There's been a setback 受挫 in England's build-up 預(yù)備賽 to next year's Euro 2012 tournament in Ukraine and Poland.

Its star striker 前鋒球星, Wayne Rooney, will definitely miss his side's first game after being sent off 被罰下場 in a match against Montenegro last Friday.

His explosive temperament 火爆的脾氣 has led to a ban 禁令 after kicking Miodrag Dzudovic in the 2-2 draw in Podgorica.

The game confirmed that England have qualified 獲得入圍資格 for the tournament and manager, Fabio Capello, hopes Rooney will only miss the opener 首場賽. However, the ban could be extended once Uefa has studied the referee's report of the incident.

The ban of the team's most influential player 有影響力的球員 could damage England's preparations. Capello has hinted he may exclude Rooney from some upcoming friendlies 友誼賽 so he can study alternatives before next year's tournament.

Capello has confirmed Rooney will not play in the next match against Spain: "I want to test new players, a different style and a new different movement, something different." He's also said: "We need to prepare the first 11 who will start the Euros."

He now has the challenge of finding a solution 找到應(yīng)急對(duì)策（解決問題的辦法）for the first game or two that Rooney will miss. It's possible Manchester United's Danny Welbeck, Liverpool striker Andy Carroll and Tottenham's Jermain Defoe, among others, will be given a chance in the next few matches.

One unlikely scenario 不太可能發(fā)生的情況 is that Rooney is sidelined 被排斥于比賽（之外）at the Euro 2012 games altogether if a successful replacement is found. Capello has said: "In my life as a manager I have put a lot of players on the bench. I always decided who was the best player for me at that moment, at every moment."
