Rogerio News: Scores during friendly

Rogerio (knee/Pneumonia) appeared off the bench for 21 minutes and scored a goal in a friendly against Brighton on Saturday.

Rogerio has been off the field for over a year after a host of injuries held the defender from playing last campaign, finally recovering from a mix of a groin issue, knee injury and a bout with Pneumonia. He seemed to be fit after bagging a goal and looks to be an option for the opener in two weeks. The question is what kind of role he will hold after the long absence, likely still having a chance to earn time in a rotational spot.
