Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso says he has a “plan” to use Morgan Rogers alongside Cole Palmer. The comments come after Chelsea completed the signing of Rogers for a reported club-record fee of £117 million. Alonso indicates that his approach involves pairing Rogers with Palmer in the same team setup rather than using them strictly in separate roles. Both sources report that Alonso framed his strategy as a planned way to deploy Rogers, specifically alongside Palmer, rather than as an immediate or incidental decision. The reports do not include detailed tactical specifics such as formation changes or whether Rogers and Palmer would start together in every match, but they agree on the central point: Alonso intends to integrate Rogers into the team in coordination with Palmer. The statements reflect Alonso’s expectations for how Rogers could fit into Chelsea’s attacking options. No additional outcomes, match results, or confirmations beyond Alonso’s comments are included in the articles.
