Morgan Rogers' World Cup stats so far with Aston Villa ace set to start vs Argentina

Morgan Rogers has not had many chances to showcase his qualities at the 2026 World Cup so far.

The Aston Villa star has often had to come off the bench as he watched Bukayo Saka and Noni Madueke take up the right-wing position.

Rogers is also capable of playing through the centre, but with the form of Jude Bellingham, who singlehandedly sent England into the semi-finals, it is unlikely to see him dropped.

However, as England look to book their place in a World Cup final for the first time since 1966, Rogers now has the chance to audition for a starting role in that final.

But, that will all come down to whether the Three Lions can get the job done.

And news of the England national team's line-up has now emerged early ahead of kick-off involving Rogers.

Where is Morgan Rogers set to play for England vs Argentina?

Rogers has not been able to show what has made him Villa's talisman at the World Cup.

As Villa News shared it felt like Rogers was paid an ultimate disrespect after being subbed on versus Mexico.

Tuchel had used him to help the Three Lions hold onto their narrow one-goal lead rather than show his attacking traits.

Now, David Ornstein has shared that Rogers is set to start in the semi-final clash against Argentina.

The journalist shares that Rogers will start on the right wing for Tuchel's side.

This is the first time Rogers will be deployed from the start on the right wing this tournament.

His previous sole start against Panama saw him moved into the number 10 role with Bellingham dropped into a deeper role amid issues surrounding Declan Rice's fitness.

How has Rogers performed at the World Cup?

As stated previously, Rogers has not had many chances. In fact, he has only started one game with four other appearances off the bench, according to Sofascore.

He has averaged just 34 minutes per appearance in North America and he has yet to register a single goal involvement.

But he has completed 67 per cent of all his attempted dribbles and has won 58 per cent of his ground duels.

So by no means has he been a passenger when coming off the bench.

The chance to start against Argentina is certainly a rare opportunity for the Aston Villa man, and he could now stake a claim for the final should England get there.

Not many players get the chance to start in a World Cup final, so his impact in potentially helping England reach that stage could be a career-defining moment for the 23-year-old.
