The article, shortened and in plain language
Head coach said latest withdrawal is ‘missed opportunity’.
England host Spain in Nations League on Saturday.
Thomas Tuchel has thrown Cole Palmer’s England future into doubt by questioning whether the Chelsea attacker wants to be part of his squad.
Palmer has only 14 caps and his decision not to join up with the squad this week, because of a muscular injury, caused disappointment given he was left out of Tuchel’s World Cup squad after struggling with form and fitness last season.
Tuchel has put a lot of store in team spirit and is clear about wanting commitment. The German has been able to work with Palmer and did not go down the diplomatic route when it was suggested the former Manchester City player does not seem desperate to play for England.
The line came with a warning for Palmer. “He misses too many camps,” Tuchel said. We have a lot of invitations and he couldn’t make this one.
The idea of asking Palmer to join the squad to build connections did not cross Tuchel’s mind.
Morgan Gibbs-White was called up as Palmer’s replacement from a holiday in Dubai.
Palmer was not the only player to withdraw. However Tuchel has no issue with Tino Livramento, who missed Newcastle’s win over Hull last weekend. Concerns over the withdrawals of Manchester United’s Kobbie Mainoo and Marcus Rashford were also brushed aside.
“But there’s not many teams in the world who can do that, especially in a World Cup semi-final in that moment.”
Tuchel has a call to make at right-back, with Jarell Quansah competing with Trent Alexander-Arnold.
