Tuchel tells Palmer he 'misses too many opportunities' to play for England

Tuchel excluded Palmer from England's Nations League squad, citing missed opportunities rather than his recent injury withdrawal.

Cole Palmer has been left out of Thomas Tuchel's England squad for upcoming Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain. The Chelsea forward was omitted despite being available after withdrawing from the previous international break with a minor muscular injury. Tuchel has directly addressed Palmer's exclusion, telling the player he "misses too many opportunities" to represent England, suggesting the decision reflects concerns about Palmer's consistency and impact rather than fitness issues.
