Palmer misses too many chances to impress - Tuchel

Tuchel omits Palmer from England's November Nations League squad, citing missed opportunities to impress in previous camps.

England manager Thomas Tuchel has left Chelsea forward Cole Palmer out of the squad for Nations League fixtures against Croatia (12 November) and Spain (15 November), saying the 24-year-old "misses too many chances to impress."

Tuchel explained his selection philosophy, noting he prefers to stick with players from the previous camp where he was satisfied with their performances. He has instead called up Fulham's Josh King and Borussia Dortmund's Jobe Bellingham for their first England caps, both operating in attacking midfield roles. Jobe, 21, joins his brother Jude in the squad; they could become the first sibling pair to feature in an England line-up since Gary and Phil Neville.

Arsenal's Bukayo Saka misses out after a quadriceps injury sustained against Bayern Munich, expected to sideline him for six weeks. Marcus Rashford (Manchester United) and Tino Livramento (Newcastle) also withdraw due to hip and knee injuries respectively. Ben White and Djed Spence return for the first time since summer.
