England manager Thomas Tuchel is set to start Morgan Rogers on the right against Argentina in tonight’s World Cup semi-final. This marks a shift for the Aston Villa attacking midfielder, who typically plays on the left or centrally. However, his versatility suggests he can excel in various attacking roles.

David Ornstein reported on X that Tuchel rewards Rogers for his impactful performance off the bench in the previous round against Norway. Ornstein noted:

“Morgan Rogers set to start on right for England in #FIFAWorldCup semi-final… Opportunity would see 23yo Aston Villa forward rewarded after impact off bench against Norway & form for #AVFC + across Thomas Tuchel reign.”

With Noni Madueke struggling to impress in the tournament, a change was necessary on the right flank, especially with Bukayo Saka not fully fit.

This semi-final is monumental for England, as it could lead them to their first World Cup final since 1966. The stakes are high, and many consider this match to be the team's biggest since their last victory.

Argentina, the current champions, enter the match as favorites, bolstered by the exceptional form of Lionel Messi throughout the tournament. For England, key players like Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham will be crucial, but the inclusion of Rogers could add a fresh dynamic that may challenge Argentina's defense.
