Morgan Rogers must get his mojo back in upcoming England games

Rogers has failed to impress over recent weeks

After a hot start to Morgan Rogers' Chelsea career, the ex-Aston Villa man's performances have dipped in recent weeks.

Rogers had five goal involvements in his first six Premier League appearances, but since then, he has only had one goal in his next four, so can this international break give Rogers a chance to regain his form from the early part of the season?

The Chelsea forward has been pretty hot and cold in his short stint at Stamford Bridge. When he's been performing well, he looks like every bit of the £117 million that Chelsea paid for him over the summer, but in recent weeks perhaps with the injury to Joao Pedro that Rogers has been struggling to impact games in the same way as previous.

England manager Thomas Tuchel has called up Rogers for the upcoming Nations League fixtures against Croatia and Spain, making him the only Chelsea player selected.

Rogers impressed during the previous international break, appearing to grow in confidence with each game. He scored against Croatia during England’s 7-0 demolition in Rijeka before setting up Harry Kane against Czechia at Wembley in his final appearance before returning to Chelsea.

One recurring concern in Chelsea's recent performances has been Rogers' discipline. He has come close to being sent off in three of the club's last four Premier League fixtures. The England international is no stranger to a foul or a booking, having already picked up three yellow cards this season. He was fortunate not to receive a fourth against Sunderland after appearing to knee Trai Hume in the head, with both the referee and VAR deeming the contact unintentional.

With the recent injury to Joao Pedro, Xabi Alonso believes that the Brazilian could be back fit for the game against Leeds on November 21. Until the Chelsea striker returns, Rogers, along with Cole Palmer, will predominantly take more of the attacking load, and hopefully this England camp will set Rogers up to return to Chelsea in form, ready for the hectic festive schedule.
