  • Morgan Rogers has rejected claims that Cole Palmer is unwilling to play for England.
  • The Chelsea forward was left out of the squad for Nations League games against Croatia and Spain.
  • Questions arose after Palmer withdrew from the previous international camp with a groin injury.

Morgan Rogers has strongly defended Chelsea teammate Cole Palmer, calling claims that the forward lacks commitment to England false and nonsense. Rogers affirmed that Palmer genuinely wished to represent his national team.

Scrutiny over the 24-year-old's dedication began after he pulled out of last month's squad due to a groin problem. Palmer was subsequently left out of the roster for upcoming Nations League fixtures against Croatia and Spain. England manager Thomas Tuchel, who chose not to include Palmer in last summer's World Cup squad, had also expressed irritation regarding the matter.
