""Well, number nine has already chosen itself, hasn't it? And I would say number seven has already chosen itself with [Bukayo] Saka," the ex-England man said. "Eleven I'd probably go with, I might even go with [Anthony] Gordon, but I know [Marcus] Rashford has had a good season. I'll probably go with Gordon - and 10 is a very difficult one, an extremely difficult one. ""
"Typically, a manager's selection tends not to deviate too greatly three months before a major tournament and with the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, Rogers is in a strong position to be 'on the plane'. England face Croatia, Ghana and Panama in the group stage and will be expected to qualify from Group L as winners, or at the very least in second place, if they are serious about ending 60 years of hurt."
Morgan Rogers is expected in Thomas Tuchel's England squad for the March internationals and is well-positioned for 2026 World Cup selection. His season for Aston Villa includes eight Premier League goals and five assists, boosting his case for the No.10 role behind Harry Kane. England's World Cup group includes Croatia, Ghana and Panama, with qualification expected. Competition for attacking places is intense, with established starters like Bukayo Saka and options such as Marcus Rashford and Anthony Gordon. Emile Heskey recommends Rogers as England's best option at No.10, while selection decisions remain challenging for Tuchel.
