Palmer misses too many chances to impress - Tuchel
England manager Thomas Tuchel says Cole Palmer "misses too many chances to impress" after not selecting the Chelsea forward for November's Nations League fixtures.
Thomas Tuchel has justified the omission of Cole Palmer from his England squad, stating that the midfielder "misses too many opportunities to impress". Palmer was not included in Tuchel's 25-man squad for the upcoming Nations League games against Croatia and Spain, despite being available for selection. The Chelsea star has not played for England since March and was absent from the World Cup due to injuries last season.
Tuchel praised the other players who were in camp, highlighting their "amazing job" and saying the credit goes to them. He also emphasized that the competition is on in camp and the selected players built something extraordinary throughout the two-and-a-half weeks. Palmer, who has played all nine of Chelsea's Premier League matches this season, was among five players to withdraw from Tuchel's first England squad since the World Cup.
Tuchel is not expecting many more withdrawals and believes his message to the players is getting through.
