The red-eyed Three Lions ace, 31, was slurring his words during a beer and wine bender the night after England’s win over Scotland.

Rooney, who was yesterday ruled out of tonight’s Spain game with injury, stayed on at the five-star complex after most of his team-mates had left.

But he was soon spotted by disbelieving guests at a private wedding party on Saturday night.

An eyewitness at The Grove hotel in Watford said: “Wayne was in the bar with members of the FA, drinking beer and red wine.

“He seemed to want to be recognised, in his England shirt.

“He was so friendly at first we thought it might be a lookalike and we were being wound up.

“He looks older in person.

“His speech was slurred, his lips were red with wine and his eyes were red.

“At midnight he was asked if he would come and say hello to guests at a private wedding party.

“He posed for photos, chatted with the bride and had plenty more to drink.

“I can only conclude he was celebrating the win against Scotland.

“He was really s***-faced.

“He was not a pretty sight by the time he left around 1am.”

Rooney had earlier been drinking with other England stars including Man City’s Raheem Sterling, 21, and John Stones, 22, plus Everton’s Phil Jagielka, 34.

The players were given time off after beating Scotland 3-0 before reporting back on Sunday.

But out-of-form Rooney missed training yesterday with a knee injury and has been ruled out by England’s interim boss Gareth Southgate.

A source said: “His powers have been on the wane for the last couple of years.

“He’s played a lot of football but not looking after yourself doesn’t help you.”

Last night the England players were thought to be back at the Grade II-listed hotel, preparing for tonight’s friendly at Wembley.

An FA spokeswoman said: “They were given time off over the weekend and didn’t report back until Sunday afternoon.”

The Sun also revealed this week that Three Lions stars Jordan Henderson and Adam Lallana eyed up dancers at a strip club while on England duty.

Their night out last Saturday was less than 48 hours before Henderson, 26, skippered the national side against Spain.
