Morgan Rogers scored in England’s 2-1 win over Croatia, then defended his teammate Cole Palmer, who was again left out by manager Thomas Tuchel. Rogers said it was wrong to question Palmer’s desire to represent his country.
Rogers explained that Palmer wanted to join the national team, but has been dealing with the effects of injuries since last year, which have affected his condition, and needs to consider his long-term fitness. He added that managing his workload does not mean he does not want to play for England.
The goal was Rogers’s third for England, and his second in his last three appearances. He has also been involved in five goals, scoring or assisting, in his last eight appearances for England, according to the source.
