00:01Yes, Chelsea fans and England fans in Birmingham will be watching England's Nation League campaign
00:08as it could provide another opportunity for two players with strong Birmingham connections
00:14to share responsibility in the attacking midfield positions, with one of them playing for Chelsea.
00:21Jude Bellingham, who was born in the Midlands, came through Birmingham City's academy
00:28and he has already established himself as one of England's leading attacking players.
00:34Morgan Rodgers, meanwhile, also grew up in the Midlands and has deep connections to two clubs in that area,
00:43both Aston Villa and West Bromwich Albion, where he started his career before developing through Manchester City and Middlesbrough.
00:52The pair have already competed for similar roles under Thomas Tuchel's side
00:57but their relationship stretches back much further.
01:00Bellingham and Rodgers have represented England together through the age groups
01:07and have spoken openly about their admiration for one another's games.
01:14Supporters in Birmingham and the wider West Midlands seeing two local products contribute for England adds another layer.
01:22Chelsea fans will be hoping Rodgers can build up some form ahead of returning from the international break.
