Chelsea forward Cole Palmer is expected to pull out of England’s squad for upcoming UEFA Nations League matches due to injury concerns. Multiple outlets report that Palmer, who recently returned to the international setup after being left out of the World Cup, is set to miss the current break.
The reports describe the issue as a minor injury or ongoing recovery, with one outlet noting he is still recovering from a hip injury. The timing is also highlighted by some coverage, referencing recent scrutiny around his international involvement after he was not selected for the World Cup. Across outlets, the common theme is that England manager Thomas Tuchel will be without Palmer for the Nations League games.
While outlets vary in how they frame the background—some focusing on Palmer’s England recall and others on his club form or past selection decisions—they broadly agree on the core development: Palmer is expected to withdraw from the squad because of fitness concerns ahead of England’s Nations League fixtures.
