Chelsea forward Cole Palmer says missing out on England’s World Cup squad will motivate him this season. Multiple reports note that Palmer was omitted from the England squad selected by coach Thomas Tuchel for the summer tournament, described as a surprise decision. One account quotes Palmer saying he was effectively told he was “not good enough” to make the squad, and he frames that setback as additional drive to prove himself at Chelsea. The reporting also notes Palmer’s prior international involvement, including participation in the Club World Cup and competitions at both senior and youth levels in Europe, before he takes his first full summer holiday as a professional footballer. Across the sources, the core points remain consistent: Palmer is reacting to his World Cup snub from Tuchel, and he plans to respond with improved performances for Chelsea in the season ahead. None of the sources provide new details about the reasons for his omission, focusing instead on Palmer’s reaction and intent.
