Koeman at ease over Jagielka drinking with Rooney

Phil Jagielka accompanying Wayne Rooney for a drinking session on international duty with England is of no great concern to Ronald Koeman.

Everton manager Ronald Koeman does not have a "big problem" with Phil Jagielka's involvement in Wayne Rooney's now-infamous drinking session while on England duty last weekend.

Jagielka was photographed with Rooney, who allegedly ended up drunk at a wedding party staged at England's team hotel, 24 hours after Gareth Southgate's side beat Scotland 3-0 in a World Cup qualifier last Friday.

The Manchester United and England captain subsequently apologised for his conduct, which has remained a source of widespread debate, with Jose Mourinho reportedly angered after learning members of England's backroom staff were also at the party.
