But it’s a homegrown talent that Rogers has taken the most from.

When asked which of his City teammates he looks up to, Rogers told Tangerine TV: “There’s a few. You can’t look past Kevin De Bruyne, you can’t look past someone like that.

Phil Foden is another one for me, just watching how much he loves the game. He will be the last one on the training pitch just being Phil. He loves the game, he loves football.

“People often look past that but he loves the game so much, that’s why he’s improved so much because he wants to work.

“He’s someone I look up to because of what he does for the team and the things he can do with the ball.

“He’s the same as me in that when you’re young, you don’t think about football being a job. You’re just in it for fun and he still does that at that level, which is something to look up to.”
