Morgan Rogers Defends Cole Palmer's Commitment to England

Morgan Rogers has dismissed accusations that his Chelsea teammate Cole Palmer is not committed to playing for England as 'a lie' and 'nonsense'.

Morgan Rogers, Cole Palmer’s Chelsea teammate, has strongly defended Palmer against claims that he lacks commitment to the England national team. Rogers stated that any such suggestion is 'a lie' and 'nonsense', emphasizing that Palmer 'wanted to come and represent his country.' Palmer, who was omitted from the squad for the recent Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain, had faced questions about his desire for international football after withdrawing from a previous camp due to a groin injury. Former manager Thomas Tuchel had expressed irritation at the time, suggesting Palmer 'misses too many opportunities' to play for his country.
