Wayne Rooney insists that he is not feeling the weight of expectation ahead of return from suspension for England.

Wayne Rooney has insisted that he is not feeling the pressure ahead of his first appearance at Euro 2012 this summer.

England manager Roy Hodgson confirmed recently that the Manchester United striker would start against co-hosts Ukraine following the completion of his two-match suspension.

Many believe that if England are to be successful in the Championships then Rooney will have to be at the top of his form.

However, the 26-year-old is adamant that it is a squad game and not all about him.

"I don't put that pressure on myself," Rooney told reporters. "There are 23 players in the squad and there is pressure on us all. I'm not going to win the Euros on my own."

England will qualify for the quarter-finals if they avoid defeat against Ukraine.
