England snub for Xabi with Palmer
Summarised by MatchPal
England manager Tuchel has omitted Chelsea's Palmer from the squad, citing wasted chances and recent fitness issues.
England manager Thomas Tuchel left Cole Palmer out of the November squad after previously criticizing the Chelsea forward's finishing in September. Tuchel said Palmer "has wasted too many opportunities" when the player was unavailable through injury. Palmer's latest omission comes without personal friction, according to Tuchel, but reflects ongoing concerns about his consistency in front of goal.
