Steven Gerrard believes Jonjo Shelvey's inclusion in the England squad is just reward for the progress he has made at Liverpool.
Rodgers added: "He has shown in the early stages of the season that he will play a prominent role in the development of the team over the next couple of years. "To get called into the full England squad is testament to what he's done so far. It will be a great experience for him. "He's gone down there to work with some top players and that can only benefit him. Hopefully he will come back a better player."
