According to Opta, Morgan Rogers has joined an exclusive company in Aston Villa’s history, becoming only the third player to feature in 10 or more consecutive England matches.
The 23-year-old midfielder’s run places him alongside two distinguished Villa Gareths – Barry, who made 20 straight England appearances between August 2007 and April 2009, and Southgate, who achieved the feat twice in 1996 and 1997.
Rogers’ consistency reflects his growing influence for both club and country. Since breaking into Thomas Tuchel’s side earlier this year, he has become a regular feature in England’s front line.
For Villa, it is a sign of the club’s reemergence at the top level, given their player is representing the Three Lions with distinction, and is now standing shoulder to shoulder with two former captains in the record books.
