According to the British media Daily Mail, Morgan Rodgers is expected to catch up with the first Premier League match between Villa and Newcastle on August 16.

Morgan Rodgers was one of Villa's best performers last season. He retired from a slander in a friendly match against Roma on Wednesday, which left coach Emery in a cold sweat.

It is understood that Rogers with ankle pain is unlikely to play in a friendly match against Marseille on August 10 or against Villarreal on August 11. But Emery and his coaching team have not yet excluded him from the game against Newcastle.

Meanwhile, Digne is about to renew his contract with Villa, and his new contract will last until 2028. Villa also hopes to finalize a new contract between Rogers and captain McKin, although Everton and Newcastle are interested in the Rogers.

Vera's pre-season warm-up match result was mixed. They started losing to Walsol and Rostock, but remained unbeaten in four games afterwards. Before their big victory over Rome, they defeated St. Louis 2-1 and drew 2-2 with Frankfurt and Nashville.
