Unai Emery commented on Morgan Rogers’ readiness and potential for national team selection. Despite being initially overlooked for the senior team and playing with the Under-21s, Emery has been vocal about his belief in Rogers’ capabilities and his suitability for the senior England squad. His comments express surprise and dissatisfaction with Rogers being placed in the Under-21s after proving his talent.
Unai Emery said, “He is ready in case they want to call him for the national team, I can understand.”
Emery continued to question Rogers’ placement with the Under-21s, reflecting his expectations for Rogers to be acknowledged at a higher level.
Unai Emery said, “My response to it, my question is, Morgan Rogers, now he is a reality. The first six months he was here, was OK, but now he is confirming it – not to play in the Under-21s. If they are calling him in the national team, the first team, OK perfect. If not, why?”
In a recent development regarding Morgan Rogers, the context has shifted. Rogers has now been promoted to join Lee Carsley’s senior England squad for upcoming Nations League matches. Emery’s wish for Rogers has been realized, reflecting the player’s progress and recognition at the national level.
