Liverpool have declined to comment on the situation at their academy, although it is understood McParland, previously the club's chief scout, and Borrell, a former coach at Barcelona's La Masia academy, have been sacked.
Both were remnants of the Rafael Benitez era, having been appointed to the academy in 2009, and were perceived to be doing a good job.
Last season no fewer than seven youngsters - Suso, Wisdom, Adam Morgan, Samed Yesil, Jerome Sinclair, Conor Coady and Jordon Ibe - made their first team debuts.
This season the likes of Wisdom, Coady, Suso and another former academy graduate Jack Robinson have all been sent out on loan to gain more experience.
Rodgers did not expand on what was happening at the academy but did say he had kept a close eye on things a few miles up the road from the first team's Melwood training base.
"I've been heavily involved within the academy," he said.
"My first look is always within, whether it's for players or staff.
"The biggest thing I can give people is an opportunity and then it is a case of taking that opportunity and giving young players hope.
"A lot of my life was spent in youth development, I was an academy director at Reading so I understand all facets of development.
"It is something which is very important to us and it is something we will never change and I will always look for.
"It is very difficult for young players now but they will always get a chance and opportunity here if they are professional and have shown that quality.
"If it is not at that early stage - we had players (last season) at 17 playing in the team which is really unprecedented in the Premier League but there will be a pathway here for all the players.
"If they breakthrough early and can't sustain that can be natural and they may need a loan period.
"As long as they are ready by 20, 21 then that is what the academy is all about - a place to learn and develop and ultimately get through into the first team.
"It is why we have invested so much in it, why we put so much work into it, in order to get the players through."
Meanwhile, Rodgers' preparations for this weekend's Merseyside derby have suffered a blow after defender Jose Enrique was ruled out with a long-term knee injury which is likely to require surgery.
The Spaniard has been struggling with the problem for some time and has featured just twice in the Reds' last five matches, with one of those appearances a 30-minute substitute appearance.
"Jose Enrique has been struggling for a little while with an injury," Rodgers told talkSPORT.
"He will probably need an operation. It's a blow for us because he's a very talented player."
