It's Wednesday the 11th of June, time for your Newsround update,

:00:00.:00:00.

Injury worries for one England's top players.

:00:00.:00:10.

And Harry's new friend on the red carpet.

:00:11.:00:17.

First this morning, there are worries over whether

:00:18.:00:19.

Danny Welbeck will be fit enough to play in England's World Cup opening

:00:20.:00:23.

The striker suffered a thigh problem during training yesterday

:00:24.:00:28.

England's first game is against Italy in the city of Manaus.

:00:29.:00:34.

If Welbeck is ruled out, then it boosts the chances of Liverpool

:00:35.:00:37.

Sticking with the World Cup, footy fever has certainly gripped

:00:38.:00:41.

England, the only team to qualify from the UK, play their first game

:00:42.:00:46.

on Saturday against Italy, so surely everyone in the country is

:00:47.:00:49.

Well, as Jenny's been finding out, it's not as clear-cut as that.

:00:50.:00:54.

The World Cup, the biggest footy event on the planet and a chance for

:00:55.:01:00.

fans from around the world to gather to support their favourite teams.

:01:01.:01:04.

32 countries from around the world qualified to compete in this

:01:05.:01:07.

summer's festival of footy, but from the UK, only England will take part.

:01:08.:01:15.

Although a lot of people living in the UK will be flying England's

:01:16.:01:19.

flag, others living here will be supporting one

:01:20.:01:21.

of the other 31 countries, or even more than one country.

:01:22.:01:24.

I am from Scotland, who did not make it into the tournament,

:01:25.:01:27.

But I also used to live in the Netherlands

:01:28.:01:31.

and I love watching their players, so I will support the Dutch team.

:01:32.:01:34.

But now I live in England, so I would

:01:35.:01:37.

Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has called on Brazilian fans

:01:38.:01:45.

to support his country as well, because they have historical

:01:46.:01:48.

connections and they both speak the same language, Portuguese.

:01:49.:01:53.

At this school in Manchester, many of the children have

:01:54.:01:56.

connections to lots of different parts of the world.

:01:57.:01:58.

I want to find out who they will be supporting, and why.

:01:59.:02:01.

I will not support England, because I already support Portugal

:02:02.:02:08.

I will support Brazil because of their skills.

:02:09.:02:17.

I will not support England because they will not be able to win.

:02:18.:02:21.

Spain, because they have got good players and I like Juan Mata.

:02:22.:02:27.

I will support the Netherlands and England.

:02:28.:02:32.

I used to live in the Netherlands, and I think the players

:02:33.:02:35.

No matter who you are supporting, there is one thing we all agree on.

:02:36.:02:43.

It is going to be a brilliant competition.

:02:44.:02:46.

Next, rescuers are fighting to save the life of a man trapped nearly

:02:47.:02:55.

a thousand metres below ground inside Germany's deepest cave.

:02:56.:02:59.

The man was injured by a rock fall at the weekend and he's

:03:00.:03:03.

so far underground that it took the rescue team 12 hours to reach him.

:03:04.:03:07.

A huge mission has been launched to get him to safety, but bringing him

:03:08.:03:11.

to the surface through the cave system is a very difficult

:03:12.:03:14.

The German Alps, near the southern Bavarian town of Berchtesgaden,

:03:15.:03:19.

home to some of the deepest and most challenging caves in Europe.

:03:20.:03:23.

It's here, in the early hours of Monday morning, that a caving

:03:24.:03:26.

One of three men carrying out research in the caves was badly

:03:27.:03:32.

injured by falling rocks, trapping him a thousand metres underground.

:03:33.:03:37.

One of the team went for help, the other stayed with the injured man.

:03:38.:03:44.

A huge rescue mission was launched and on Monday evening,

:03:45.:03:47.

Buried so far below the ground, it took the team 12 hours to reach him.

:03:48.:03:55.

Now they're faced with a very difficult problem - how to move the

:03:56.:03:59.

Rescues are always more difficult from the surface, because it is dark

:04:00.:04:16.

and cold. In this case, the rescuers had the added problem of having to

:04:17.:04:18.

pull the casualty up in a stretcher.

:04:19.:04:22.

Rescuers have dropped a telephone line to the team with

:04:23.:04:25.

the man and cave specialists, medical teams and mountain rescue

:04:26.:04:27.

But it could be days before they reach the surface.

:04:28.:04:32.

Prince Harry met an unusual kind of fan last night.

:04:33.:04:34.

He was at the 50th anniversary screening of a movie called Zulu,

:04:35.:04:38.

about a battle between the British army and a South African tribe.

:04:39.:04:41.

As well as hugging this woman, he also met a goat!

:04:42.:04:44.

The animal is the mascot for the regiment that features in the movie.

:04:45.:04:49.

We'll be hearing from Leah, who is in Brazil,

:04:50.:04:54.
