#2 Phil Foden vs. Morgan Rogers

Foden has played in 47 matches for England and is one of the senior players in their current set-up. After a disastrous 2024/25 season by his high standards, Foden has improved his performance for his club this season.

Foden is by far the more experienced and more decorated player of the two in club football, but has not impressed for his national team much, scoring only four goals in his international career so far.
