Chelsea’s Palmer set to pull out of England squad, according to reports
Cole Palmer has scored four goals and provided two assists in seven appearances for Chelsea this season but is still recovering from a hip injury.
Chelsea forward Cole Palmer is set to withdraw from the England squad due to a muscle injury, according to recent reports. This marks an end to his brief return to manager Thomas Tuchel's plans following an exclusion from the World Cup squad this year. Palmer, 24, had played the entire match in Chelsea's recent loss to Brentford, earning a recall for England's upcoming Nations League fixtures against Spain, the Czech Republic, and Croatia.
The young player has shown a strong response to his World Cup disappointment, scoring four goals and providing two assists in seven appearances for Chelsea this season. England's first three matches of their Nations League campaign are scheduled to begin on Saturday against world champions Spain at Wembley. The team then travels to Prague for a match against the Czech Republic on September 29 before hosting the Czechs at Wembley three nights later.
The three-week international window is the first under FIFA's revised match calendar, which has merged the traditional September and October breaks into a single three-week period.
