Wayne Rooney recorded four goals and three assists in the first five matches. (Geoff Burke/USA TODAY Sports)D.C. United star Wayne Rooney, who did not play Tuesday because of a red-card suspension, did not practice Wednesday because of an illness, club officials said. United (3-1-2) is scheduled to fly to Denver on Thursday ahead of Saturday’s match against the winless Colorado Rapids. “Wayne informed us that he had flulike symptoms, meaning he missed [attending] last night’s game and training this morning,” said Chris Hull, United’s vice president for media and public relations. Odoi-Atsem is training at a limited capacity, but Fisher experienced complications from the October surgery and might not play this season.
