Palmer misses too many chances to impress – Tuchel
Thomas Tuchel has left Cole Palmer out of England’s squad for November’s Nations League matches, saying the Chelsea forward “misses too many chances to impress”. The decision follows Palmer’s absence from the previous squad and reflects Tuchel’s preference for players who performed well in the last camp, while two uncapped attacking midfielders have been called up.
Fulham’s Josh King and Borussia Dortmund’s Jobe Bellingham receive their first senior England selections. Bellingham, 21, has made 63 appearances for Dortmund and captains England’s Under-21s; King has scored twice and assisted once in the Premier League this season. England are second in Group A3 behind Spain, and need one point from their final two matches to secure a place in the quarter-finals.
In short
- Tuchel says Palmer has missed too many chances to impress.
- Josh King and Jobe Bellingham earn first England call-ups.
- England need one point from two Nations League matches.
