Jude Bellingham and Morgan Rogers share long friendship

Jude Bellingham, a star player in the England football team, has a close friend on the squad named Morgan Rogers. They have known each other since childhood, with their friendship dating back to Bellingham attending Rogers' fifth birthday party. At just 21 years old, Bellingham is expected to take on a key role in the team under coach Thomas Tuchel, playing as an attacking midfielder. This position may require other players, like Cole Palmer and Phil Foden, to change their playing styles to fit into the team's structure. Bellingham is currently one of the few England players who does not play in the Premier League, as he is with Real Madrid in Spain. His friend Rogers, now 22, is making waves in the Premier League with Aston Villa after transitioning from Middlesbrough. Rogers and Bellingham grew up just five minutes apart and often competed against each other in youth academies. They played in the England youth setup together and are now teammates on the senior squad. Rogers recently made his first start for England, showcasing the strong bond they share both on and off the pitch. Both players are seen as future stars for England, with hopes they will continue to grow together in the national team. Their friendship adds a personal touch to their professional rivalry and growth in football.
