Will play decent role at WC
Rogers has been named in England's World Cup squad and arrives at the tournament as one of the most in-form attackers in the Premier League after a breakout season at Aston Villa.
Analysis: Rogers ended the campaign having been one of the standout performers in the top flight, recording 10 Premier League goals and seven assists across 37 appearances while also contributing three goals and five assists in Aston Villa's Europa League title-winning run. The young playmaker's combination of power, pace and technical quality makes him one of the most physically imposing and direct attacking midfielders in the England squad, and his ability to operate in multiple positions across the front line gives manager Thomas Tuchel tactical flexibility when he comes on or potentially starts. Rogers heads into the World Cup as the surprise package of the season and a player whose exceptional form demands serious consideration for a starting role at the tournament.
Two goal contributions
Rogers scored one goal and assisted once from four shots and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-0 win against SC Freiburg.
Analysis: Rogers was a key factor in Wednesday's win as he once again showed his attacking productivity, recording a chance created, two crosses and four shots. He would do even better, though, recording an assist in the 41st minute before a goal of his own in the 58th minute. This is consecutive games with two goal contributions for the attacker, as he also had two in a league match over the weekend. He ends his UEL campaign with three goals and five assists in 15 appearances (12 starts).
