Chelsea star Morgan Rogers was handed a start for England in their 2-0 win over Czechia in the Nations League, and largely received a positive response from the national media for his performance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rogers<\/a> is the only Chelsea player in Thomas Tuchel\u2019s squad after Cole Palmer withdrew from the side<\/a> to manage his fitness, while Reece James and Levi Colwill both missed out.<\/p>\n

\n

Despite playing off the left wing for the majority of his time at Stamford Bridge, the former Aston Villa man started in the number 10 role, alongside Anthony Gordon and Bukayo Saka behind Harry Kane.<\/p>\n

While he didn\u2019t score, he played a key role in their second goal, and English media were largely impressed with his performance as part of an attack which looked to break down a side who went down to 10 men in the first half.<\/p>\n

BBC Sport said: \u201cPlayed Bukayo Saka through with a nice pass early on and hit the post twice. Not given much room by a Czech side who defended very deep.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Evening Standard stated: \u201cA decent performance in which he hit the post and nearly scored a late header but went missing for large periods.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Telegraph pointed out: \u201cUnlucky not to open the scoring, when his shot on the turn hit the inside of the post and bounced out. Involved in Kane\u2019s goal that made sure of the win.\u201d<\/p>\n

What do you make of the criticism Cole Palmer has faced since withdrawing from the England squad?<\/h3>\n

Rio Ferdinand is still a fan!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Rogers comparison to Jude Bellingham<\/h2>\n

Rogers was starting in the place of Jude Bellingham, who has established himself as England\u2019s most important player since the World Cup this summer.<\/p>\n

Despite having a decent showing, The Mirror are aware that he faces a tough task to break into the side on a regular basis, saying: \u201cHit the post in the first half and had moments but Jude\u2019s are big boots to fill these days.\u201d<\/p>\n

At a time where Palmer is clearly in Tuchel\u2019s<\/a> bad books, Rogers has an opportunity to continue to establish himself as a key member of the camp, ahead of the European Championships in 2028.<\/p>\n

He has two more fixtures where he can make his mark during the international break. They will travel to Croatia on Saturday before hosting Czechia again on Tuesday, and then returning to Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n
