Morgan Rogers Disappointed Not to Start at World Cup

Morgan Rogers has admitted his disappointment at not starting England's first two World Cup matches in North America.

"'Expectation' is the wrong word. I was hopeful. I'm disappointed, of course. I want to play in every game. I want to show what I can do on the biggest stage. But I understand the situation. I know it's a team, I have a role, and there are many more games to come," Rogers stated.

When asked if he could play alongside his close friend Jude Bellingham, the Aston Villa player had no doubt: "Yes, 100 percent. We have different qualities. There are many similarities, but also many differences in our game. We've known each other for a very long time and perfectly understand how the other plays."
