England’s latest national-team squad includes a reshuffle after three players withdraw, with Chelsea forward Cole Palmer named in reports as one of those set to pull out.
Multiple outlets say Palmer’s fitness is the central issue. Yahoo Sports and The Independent both reference his recent comments about prolonged injury problems from last season, including that he has had “one leg for 10 months.” The reporting indicates the withdrawal is linked to concerns about his ability to participate.
The two sources align on the headline details: Palmer is joined by two other players in stepping back from the squad for the most recent call-up. While the outlets emphasize Palmer’s extended injury setbacks, they do not diverge on the core point that England is adjusting its squad selection ahead of upcoming commitments due to player availability concerns.
