THOMAS TUCHEL will reportedly hand a call-up to Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers in his first-ever England squad.
The former Chelsea gaffer names his maiden Three Lions group for World Cup qualifying on Friday morning.
And it’s reckoned Tuchel has touched base with 55 players ahead of tomorrow’s annoucement.
But one man who has made his way into the group is Villa ace Rogers.
The Telegraph claims he will be announced with other England stars on Friday.
And Rogers, 22, could end up being an important player in Tuchel’s Three Lions system.

The £8million signing from Middlesbrough one year ago has quickly blossomed into a key figure at Villa.
He has 12 goals and seven assists under Unai Emery this season.
And Tuchel has been left extremely impressed by Rogers’ eye for goal.
The versatile forward already has two England caps under his belt.

Rogers was called up for the first-time by former interim boss Lee Carsley for November’s Nations League games against Greece and the Republic of Ireland.
His debut came from the bench in the 3-0 win over Greece.
And Rogers again was a used sub in the 5-0 win against Ireland.
He is now set to feature in this month’s clashes against Albania and Latvia.
But after guiding Villa to a Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain, Rogers will be hoping to finally get his first start for the Three Lions.
