Chelsea star Morgan Rogers has hit out at suggestions that his teammate Cole Palmer lacked commitment to international duty.
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, Rogers insisted that Palmer wanted to get called up and represent his country as he always has done.
He stated this after leading England to beat Croatia 2-1 in the UEFA Nations League encounter on Thursday.
“He [Cole Palmer] wants to be here,” Rogers told BBC Radio 5 Live.
“He wanted to get called up, and he wanted to come and represent his country as he always has done.
“People just see it as news and say the easy thing. We all know he had a difficult year with injuries.”
