“He’s not really keen on fish, but he knows it’s good for him, so he’ll eat it.”<\/p>\n
Private chef Zena Weeks has worked with England midfielder Morgan Rogers on how eating the right food can boost his performance on the pitch.<\/p>\n
There was “no plan” for her to team up with footballers, but she had been “fortunate” to do that with several Premier League players, including Aston Villa player Rogers. <\/p>\n
“Luckily for me… [he] doesn’t have a sweet tooth, but before a match, the day before a match, I will give him something like apple crumble,” Weeks explains.<\/p>\n
“They are allowed to have sweet things before a game, because they need to sustain their energy.”<\/p>\n
The chef, from Streetly in the West Midlands, cooks in Rogers’ home, but she also said the international player was “a very good cook”.<\/p>\n
The two of them had “done a few recipes together”, she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“He’s not really keen on fish, but he knows it’s good for him, so he’ll eat it.” Private…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":682093,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[59,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-682092","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-gb","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/682092","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=682092"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/682092\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/682093"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=682092"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=682092"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=682092"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
