Tuchel on Palmer: 'Misses way too many camps'

England manager Thomas Tuchel has expressed frustration over Cole Palmer's repeated absences from international camps, stating the 24-year-old Chelsea midfielder misses 'way too many camps with injuries.' Palmer withdrew from England's upcoming Nations League squad — which includes a match against world champions Spain on Saturday — alongside Declan Rice, Kobbie Mainoo, Marcus Rashford, and Tino Livramento. Tuchel noted that Palmer has only made three international appearances since he took charge at the start of 2025 and was also omitted from the summer World Cup squad, with his absences attributed to genuine injury issues, including a long-running groin problem.
