## Summary

Morgan Rogers has rejected suggestions that Cole Palmer is not committed to England, calling them “a lie” and “nonsense”. Speaking after England’s 2-1 Nations League win over Croatia, Rogers said his Chelsea team-mate wants to represent his country but has had to manage his fitness after injuries.

Palmer, 24, missed the current squad after manager Thomas Tuchel said he had missed too many chances to impress, and withdrew from September’s camp with a minor injury. He has made 14 England appearances, scoring twice and assisting once, while scoring 50 Premier League goals and providing 24 assists. Tuchel said Palmer remains in his thinking, and former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson noted that Jude Bellingham regained a key role after being left out of squads.
