Wayne Rooney has flown to Switzerland with the England squad as lurid allegations about his private life threatened once again to overshadow his performance on the pitch.
The Man UTD star was included in manager Fabio Capello's squad despite newspaper reports that he bedded a prostitute while wife Coleen was pregnant with their first child.
Rooney, 24, who appeared grim-faced as he jetted off with the rest of the team from Luton Airport on Monday morning, has so far made no comment about the allegations.
But team-mate James Milner said on Sunday that he expects the striker to continue performing for the national side.
And publicist Max Clifford said as long as Rooney keeps scoring goals, the fans will not care.
Rooney is considered a vital presence in the team which takes on Switzerland in a Euro qualifier on Tuesday night.
Mr Clifford said: "The only thing Wayne Rooney has to worry about is his wife, whether she, like all the others, is prepared to accept her husband's alleged infidelities.
"Nobody in football gives a monkey's as long as he's winning on the pitch."
Mr Clifford said Rooney's sponsors were also likely to stick with the player, adding: "Will it stop people drinking Tiger Beer? No. Will it stop people buying Coca Cola? No. Will it stop parents buying Nike for their children? No."

EA continue Wayne Rooney partnership
A spokesman for electronic game firm EA Sports one of Rooney's sponsors, said: "This is a personal matter, and we respect Wayne and his family's privacy. We have worked together for six years and Wayne continues to represent EA. We will be making no further comment at this time."
