England manager Thomas Tuchel has explained the continued omission of Chelsea forward Cole Palmer from the national squad, stating that the player "misses too many chances to impress." Palmer has once again been left out of the 25-man squad for the upcoming Nations League fixtures against Croatia and Spain.
Tuchel opted to maintain continuity with players who performed well in the previous squad, while also handing a first-time call-up to Fulham starlet Josh King and Jobe Bellingham. The decision to overlook Palmer, who has been in strong form for Chelsea, has raised eyebrows, with Tuchel emphasizing the need for consistent impact in training and matches to earn a place in the team.
