Morgan Rogers is confident playing for England under-21s won’t impact his Villa form following Unai Emery’s criticism of his call-up.
The Villa boss last week expressed bemusement at Rogers being selected for what he described as England’s “second team” - claiming the 22-year-old would benefit little from the experience.
But Rogers, who had been tipped for a first senior call following an impressive start to the season, disagrees and says there was never any doubt about him reporting for Young Lions duty. “There was never any doubt about me coming,’ Rogers told the Daily Mail. ‘I spoke to him about it. I understood what he was trying to say, he just wants to protect me and cares about our games coming up.
“He was probably just saying it from a selfish point of view in that he wants me fit and healthy for Villa, which I will be. I can do both.”'You are going to get dumped from time to time' – judge warns man to get hold of emotions after threatening messages to former girlfriend
