VIDEO: Morgan Rogers ambushed by 'trainee reporter' as England star pressed to name Three Lions' fastest player

England midfielder Morgan Rogers was handed an unexpected surprise during his latest media duties at the team's World Cup training base in Kansas City. The 23-year-old was hilariously put on the spot when international team-mate Djed Spence gatecrashed the press room to demand answers regarding the squad's true sprint king, masquerading as a rookie journalist to cross-examine his international colleague.

This playful stunt instantly broke the ice, forcing the man on the podium to publicly settle an ongoing dressing-room dispute over their top speedster. Spence seized the moment to ask about the truth regarding the rumours of the fastest player in the Three Lions squad. He asked: "There's been a lot of speculation in recent weeks about who's the fastest in the squad Is it true that Djed Spence is fastest in the squad"

Rogers burst out laughing before finally giving his full attention to the unique question and dragging Anthony Gordon's name into the competition. The Villa star replied: "Let's just say I wouldn't bet against you in a race he told Spence But there's a couple saying that they might have you Anthony Gordon being one of them so I d like to see that race We ll see who wins But I wouldn't bet against you"

The lighthearted exchange provided a brief moment of levity during the team's preparations, with the squad's fastest player still appearing to be a matter of genuine debate among the players. The playful interrogation highlighted the camaraderie within the England camp as they continue their World Cup campaign, with Spence's surprise appearance clearly leaving Rogers and other team members amused by the unconventional interview format.
