Tuchel omits Palmer from England squad for Croatia and Spain Nations League games after medical checks, citing repeated injury absences.
Chelsea forward Cole Palmer has been left out of England's squad for upcoming Nations League fixtures against Croatia and Spain. Manager Thomas Tuchel conducted medical checks on the 24-year-old this week before making his decision. Palmer had previously withdrawn from an England camp, prompting Tuchel to warn him that he "misses too many camps" through injury. The omission reflects ongoing concerns about Palmer's availability for international duty.
