Morgan Rogers has cleared the air over his heated London derby clash with Declan Rice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Things got heated during Chelsea\u2019s defeat at Arsenal when Declan Rice subtly tripped Morgan Rogers<\/a> on a counter. The referee missed it completely, which set Rogers off, as he popped right back up, shoved Rice, and ended up in the referee\u2019s book while the home crowd gave him earfuls. <\/p>\n

\n

Both earned call-ups to Thomas Tuchel\u2019s England squad soon after, but Rice has since withdrawn.<\/p>\n

However, it doesn\u2019t look as if there are any lingering issues, as Morgan Rogers<\/a> has opened up on the incident and how he\u2019s now resolved the situation with Rice. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is just competitors competing and wanting to win. London derby, me getting absolutely dog\u2019s abuse by the fans doesn\u2019t help. All emotions come into one at that moment, but Dec and I are fine.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWe spoke about it after the game. We\u2019re completely fine. It\u2019s just one of those things in football: we want to win. That\u2019s actually a good thing \u2014 showing that we put friendships and everything aside and just want to win for our clubs and do what it takes. Sometimes tempers rise a little bit but it\u2019s all good.\u201d<\/p>\n

England predicted XI to face Spain <\/h2>\n

With Cole Palmer withdrawing from international duty, it opens the opportunity for Morgan Rogers to start centrally for England against Spain. <\/p>\n

Tuchel said: \u201cI am told he is playing with discomfort and pain, and he cannot compete at the highest level with discomfort and pain. So he withdrew and informed us. Chelsea informed us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Declan Rice, Marcus Rashford, Kobbie Mainoo and Tino Livramento have also withdrawn, so it\u2019s quite a depleted England squad to kick off the Nations League campaign. <\/p>\n
