Fans have been left in disbelief over the omission of a star player in Lee Carsley’s England squad in a leaked report.
Carsley is set to name his England squad later this afternoon ahead of two Nations League fixtures this month.
The Three Lions face Greece before taking on Finland, having beaten Ireland and Finland in the last international break.
And ahead of selecting his second England squad after replacing Gareth Southgate, Carsley WON’T be including Aston Villa ace Morgan Rogers, according to David Ornstein.
Rogers has started every Premier League game this season, scoring his first goal of the campaign in his side’s draw against Ipswich Town.
The forward has also delivered brilliant showings in the Champions League, including a stellar outing in Villa’s famous 1-0 victory over Bayern Munich last night.
The reported exclusion of the 22-year-old got fans online talking.
One X user slammed: “Rogers not called up is a disgrace after how good he’s been.”
A second exclaimed: “HOWS ROGERS NOT IN???”
A third added: “Rogers been excellent not sure how he’s been called up.”
Another said: “No Rogers is criminal.”

Rogers, who joined Villa from Middlesbrough for a reported £8 million during this year’s January transfer window, has excelled under Unai Emery.
On working with Emery, he said: “It’s about having good people around you, being patient and knowing your time will come. Luckily I’ve found a manager who trusted and believed in me.
“When I came here he kind of took me under his wing and tried to improve me. I’m only getting better and better and it’s thanks to him.”
He made 16 appearances across all competitions, scoring three goals in the second half of last season.
This season, he has played eight games, scoring one goal.
But he will have to wait for his maiden senior England call-up as he will be a part of the under-21 team.
Manchester United defender Harry Maguire is also among those left out by Carsley, not to mention Tottenham’s James Maddison and West Ham United’s Jarrod Bowen.

Dominic Solanke, however, has been called up to the England squad for the first time in seven years.
