Morgan Rogers has demanded one thing for Ezri Konsa following his impressive England showing against Latvia.

With their victory against Latvia, the Three Lions officially became the first nation to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, a feat they achieved without conceding a single goal.

Konsa has played a significant role in the impressive defensive run that Thomas Tuchel’s team have been putting together.

However, now his Aston Villa teammate wants to see people do one specific thing for Konsa following England’s 5-0 win.

Morgan Rogers wants Ezri Konsa to get his flowers after impressive England performance

Konsa has been a solid rock for England ever since he joined the international setup, and John McGinn was shocked it took so long in the first place.

However, he has consistently delivered ever since that point, to the stage where he’s in serious contention to not just travel to the World Cup, but be in England’s starting line-up.

Konsa was impressive against Latvia both off and on the ball, proving that he can build up attacks when needed.

Konsa took to Instagram after the match to celebrate England’s qualification for the World Cup, which is when Rogers commented to demand people give him his flowers right now.

The attacking midfielder clearly wants more respect on Konsa’s name for the performances that he is delivering consistently.

Morgan Rogers and Ezri Konsa need to take their England form to Aston Villa

Rogers and Konsa both had impressive international breaks, which showcased the quality of the two Aston Villa players.

Rogers scored against Wales and instantly reminded people of his talent despite the slow start to his Premier League campaign.

Rogers has been criticised by Martin Keown and other pundits this season, which is why he needs to take his England performances back to Villa Park.

Meanwhile, Konsa continuing to deliver the same level of quality will also be important, as Aston Villa are currently 13th in the Premier League, which is not where the club wants to be.
