Tuchel Slams Palmer: 'Misses Too Many Chances'
6 Nov
Summary
- Cole Palmer was not selected for England's November fixtures.
- Manager Thomas Tuchel stated Palmer misses too many chances.
- Josh King and Jobe Bellingham received their first England call-ups.
England manager Thomas Tuchel has opted not to include Chelsea forward Cole Palmer in the squad for the November Nations League fixtures. The 24-year-old will miss the upcoming matches against Croatia and Spain. Tuchel stated that Palmer "misses too many opportunities to impress" when vying for selection.
This selection sees new call-ups for Josh King of Fulham and Jobe Bellingham of Borussia Dortmund, both players operating in attacking midfield roles. Jobe Bellingham, aged 21, joins his brother Jude in the squad, potentially marking the first sibling pairing in England's lineup since the Neville brothers. Arsenal's Bukayo Saka is also absent due to a quadriceps injury sustained last month, expected to sideline him for six weeks.
Other notable absentees include Bournemouth's Alex Scott and Manchester United's Marcus Rashford due to respective injuries. Ben White of Arsenal and Djed Spence of Inter Milan return to the squad, while Declan Rice and Ezri Konsa are fit to play after withdrawing from the previous squad.
