Morgan Rogers is one of the changes for England as they face the Czech Republic in their final Nations League fixture of the international break.

The Chelsea attacker is expected to line up alongside Jude Bellingham and Eberechi Eze in the fluid attacking positions behind Harry Kane, as the Bayern Munich striker makes his fourth appearance of the international break.

The occasion is particularly special for Kane, who will make his 125th appearance for England and equal Peter Shilton’s record for the most caps in the nation’s history.

He was one of the goalscorers in England’s 2-0 victory over the Czech Republic in Prague last week, and the Three Lions will be looking to secure another three points to guarantee their place in the quarter-finals of the tournament.

For Rogers, he will be looking to improve his performances in the wide areas offering something different to Thomas Tuchel for future tournaments with Bukayo Saka and Anthony Gordon appearing to be first choice in those positions. 

Chelsea fans will be hoping he can carry that form into the return to domestic action, having headed into the international break with three goals, an assist and a string of impressive performances. Chelsea's signing of the season will be key to improving to Chelsea fortunes this term as Xabi Alson naviagate a difficult month of fixtures.

The priority now is a clean bill of health and a continuation of that form, with all eyes turning to Bournemouth this weekend as Chelsea return to Premier League action.
