The striker has made just one appearance as a substitute since the end of September due to the problem and was sent to America for rehabilitation and conditioning work earlier this month.
He is set to fly back to England on Saturday before being assessed by Manchester United's medical team on Monday.
Rooney therefore has no chance of being selected for England's friendly with France next week, although it may not be too much longer before Sir Alex Ferguson has him available again.
Assistant manager Mike Phelan has been encouraged by the reports United have received about the 25-year-old and hopes he will be ready for action soon.
"Wayne has been doing really well," Phelan told Key 103. "He has been training really hard, working morning and afternoon.
"Our people out there who are looking after him have been really pleased with his attitude and approach.
"All being well he can have a nice easy flight back.
"We will see where he is at on Monday but we think he will have improved immensely."
