Morgan Rogers says ‘it’s a lie’ that Cole Palmer does not want to play for England
Forward springs to defence of Chelsea teammate
‘He wanted to come and represent his country’
Morgan Rogers has said accusations that his Chelsea teammate Cole Palmer is not committed to playing for England are “a lie”.
Palmer, who was left out of the squad for this week’s Nations League ties against Croatia and Spain, has faced questions over his desire to play international football since withdrawing from last month’s camp with a groin injury. Thomas Tuchel, who did not take the 24-year-old to last summer’s World Cup, expressed irritation at the time, saying the Chelsea attacker “misses too many opportunities” to play for his country.
