His marriage is reportedly on the rocks following his drink-driving scandal during a night out with party girl Laura Simpson.
And Wayne Rooney looked downcast as he arrived at Everton Finch Farm training ground in Merseyside on Tuesday – the day of his 32nd birthday.
The sports star was spending his birthday apart from his wife and sons Kai, seven, Klay, four, and 22-month-old Kit, as they holiday in Barbados without him in the wake of the incident.

Coleen has brought her children with her as she jets off for her seventh holiday in ten months without disgraced Wayne, who is back home alone in the UK.

The brunette, who has been married to Wayne for 10 years, is currently expecting her fourth child with her husband.
Wayne’s outing comes as Coleen hit back after pictures emerged of her with a Louis Vuitton that seemed to be embossed with the initial of her maiden name, ‘M’ for McLoughlin, instead of ‘R’ for husband Wayne’s surname – suggesting she was no longer going by her married name.
The WAG, 31, took to Twitter to post: ‘Stories, stories, stories. My mums initials are CM… not my bag!!’
Her comment appeared to suggest the brunette beauty isn’t finished with her marriage – despite not wearing her wedding ring during her beach break.

MailOnline has contacted the star’s representatives for comment.
The couple’s marriage has been on the rocks since Wayne was caught drink driving in Cheshire, with fellow party-goer Laura Simpson in the passenger seat as he drove her Beetle back from a club after she claimed they ‘kissed and cuddled’.
Last month, the legendary footballer pleaded guilty to driving while over the limit before embarking on 100 hours unpaid work.
He has been defiantly keeping his wedding ring in place despite Coleen’s frequent appearances without her own band.

Coleen recently hinted she is focusing on the arrival of her fourth child after ‘ditching’ her wedding band following marital strife with his scandalous arrest in late August.
At the time of his arrest, it was reported she flew back from Spain with their three children and reportedly screamed at him: ‘The world is laughing at me because of you. How could you do this to me while I’m pregnant? How could you be so stupid?’
Speaking to The Sun, an insider revealed Coleen is ‘still very angry’ but feels she and her boys should not be punished by his actions and therefore went ahead with her seventh holiday in ten months.
Now it seems she is ready to jet away once more, as insiders said: ‘She is still very angry at Wayne. But she doesn’t see why she or the children should suffer.

Doting mother: Family-oriented Coleen has been focusing on her children, including son Kai (pictured) since the incident
‘Ultimately, her boys are off school and she wants to take them away so they can enjoy some sun. She works hard and hasn’t done anything wrong.’
The mother of three has already been on various holidays this year, including Barbados, Ibiza, Portugal, Greece and Spain and it was previously claimed Wayne has accused her of spending too much time away from the family home.
In September it was alleged that Wayne gave Coleen an ultimatum, telling her he would give up booze if she decided to cut back on her trips abroad – an attempt from his part to save his marriage after he was charged with drink driving while in the car with another woman.
Meanwhile, Laura, from Irlam, Greater Manchester, said that she would have had sex with the footballer if they had not been stopped by police.
The lettings agent worker, 29, said the pair had ‘kissed and cuddled’ and she would have ‘s******’ him if he had not been pulled over by the police.
Laura, a single mother of one, also told MailOnline that she would have slept with Rooney if he had not been arrested behind the wheel of her VW Beetle car in the early hours of the morning.
