Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney missed the open 15-minute session of training on Tuesday ahead of Wednesday night's Champions League semi-final second leg at home to Schalke
The England international is believed to have picked up a knock during the weekend defeat at Arsenal and may miss Wednesday night's European tie at Old Trafford.
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was believed to be already considering resting Rooney as he has one eye on Sunday's crucial Premier League game against Chelsea.
The league leaders have a 2-0 lead to defend against Schalke and Ferguson is ready to ring the changes with a view to Sunday's game.
Dimitar Berbatov could be handed a start alongside Michael Owen.
Midfielder Darren Fletcher, who has been out for two months with a virus, trained on Tuesday morning, while Denmark goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard could play should Ferguson wish to rest first choice keeper Edwin van der Sar.
