Aston Villa news: Morgan Rogers picks up hamstring ‘niggle’ on international duty

Aston Villa attacking midfielder Morgan Rogers is an injury doubt for England game against Serbia.

The 23-year-old was called up to Thomas Tuchel’s squad for the the Three Lions’ two remaining World Cup qualifiers, at home to Serbia on Thursday and in Albania on Sunday.

Rogers has been a regular recent feature for the national side, playing in all eight games and clocking up 460 minutes under Tuchel – including five starts, one goal and one assist.

However, his place in the side this week is now in doubt after Tuchel provided an update at his news conference and said: “We need to see because Morgan [Rogers] has a bit of a niggle around his hamstrings.

“Let’s see how good he really feels and how responsible [it would be] to let him start. But the decision is not taken anyway and it will be taken tomorrow morning.”

Rogers has featured in every match for Aston Villa this season, finding the net once and contributing three assists, and signed a new long-term deal with the club on Monday.
