Despite Harvey Elliott scoring on his Villa debut, Aaron Hickey equalised, and the Bees won the tie on penalties.
Rogers had been introduced in the 67th minute during the game for Donyell Malen, but the Englishman couldn’t affect the game in favour of Unai Emery’s side.
His appearance came amid growing uncertainty surrounding his future as reports revealed Chelsea and Tottenham made enquiries for Rogers in the summer, but no bids were offered.
Amid the current dismal run of form for Villa, questions over his future, Rogers chose to send a message of encouragement to supporters.
Rogers posted on Instagram following the loss to Brentford with a simple but direct message to say: “Don’t count us out”.
