In this article, we consider the so-called modified Euler scheme for stochastic differential equations (SDEs) driven by fractional Brownian motions (fBm) with Hurst parameter $frac13<H<frac12$. This is a first-order time-discrete numerical approximation scheme, and has been recently introduced by Hu, Liu and Nualart in order to generalize the classical Euler scheme for It^o SDEs to the case $H>frac12$. The current contribution generalizes the modified Euler scheme to the rough case $frac13<H<frac12$. Namely, we show a convergence rate of order $n^{frac12-2H}$ for the scheme, and we argue that this rate is exact. We also derive a central limit theorem for the renormalized error of the scheme, thanks to some new techniques for asymptotics of weighted random sums. Our main idea is based on the following observation: the triple of processes obtained by considering the fBm, the scheme process and the normalized error process, can be lifted to a new rough path. In addition, the Holder norm of this new rough path has an estimate which is independent of the step-size of the scheme.
