Rooney set for England farewell match
The 33-year-old - England's record goalscorer with 53 - has not played for the Three Lions since November 2016.
Rooney, who plays for DC United, is expected to captain the national side when he earns his 120th cap in the friendly at Wembley on 15 November.
The game will raise funds for the Wayne Rooney Foundation.
The Wembley Arch will be lit up in the gold colours of Rooney's charity.
His last England appearance was in a 3-0 victory over Scotland on 11 November 2016.
Real Madrid end winless run in Solari's first La Liga game
Valladolid hit the crossbar twice in the second half before a late deflected strike gave Madrid the lead.
Brazilian teenager Vinicius Jr cut in from the right wing and hit an effort that was going well off target until it hit defender Kiko Olivas.
And Sergio Ramos chipped in a late penalty after Karim Benzema was fouled.
Real had only picked up one point from their previous five La Liga games, including last Sunday's 5-1 thrashing by Barcelona, a result which cost boss Julen Lopetegui his job.
Solari, the club's reserve-team coach, has taken temporary charge and led them to a 4-0 win at third division Melilla in the Copa del Rey during the week.
But this was his first big challenge - taking his ninth-placed team to a club sixth in the league and owned by former Real and Brazil striker Ronaldo.
In truth, they were unimpressive and should have lost. Their fans whistled them off at half-time and then when they came back on after the break.
Nobody knows if Solari will end up in permanent charge - with Mauricio Pochettino the bookmakers' favourite - but the former Real winger's arrival has not brought an immediate improvement in the team's performances.

"Along with the Wimbledon semi-final against Nadal, it's surely the most exciting match this season."The 31-year-old, now unbeaten in 22 matches, is a four-time winner of the Paris Masters. A win on Sunday will see him draw level with Spain's Rafael Nadal on 33 career Masters titles.

Oladipo was fouled by Jaylen Brown with 29 seconds left and made both free throws to cut the Celtic lead to 101-99.
With the clock winding down, Oladipo seized a defensive rebound and dribbled up the court before stopping on the right side and nailing a three-pointer over the top of Boston center Al Horford.
