Palmer Omitted from Tuchel’s England Squad Again

Chelsea star Cole Palmer and other big names have been left out of Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain.

Despite making a positive start to the season for his club side, Palmer has been overlooked again. Is Tuchel right, or does the 24-year-old deserve a spot?

Palmer Overlooked Again

Palmer was surprisingly left out of England’s 2026 FIFA World Cup squad, and the Chelsea playmaker has been snubbed by the Three Lions boss once again.

Palmer is having a solid season for Chelsea, already scoring five league and cup goals, including one in last weekend’s 2-0 Premier League victory over Manchester United.

Palmer is an extremely gifted player, but Tuchel has other options in the No. 10 position. His omission from this squad is another surprise, but is the England manager justified?

Other Big Names Miss Out

Alongside Palmer, Phil Foden misses out again. The Manchester City man has also been in fine fettle for his club, recently scoring a UEFA Champions League hat-trick.

Manchester United’s Kobbie Mainoo has missed the cut, and Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford are injured.

Josh King and Jobe Bellingham have been called up for the first time, while familiar faces Trent Alexander-Arnold, Declan Rice, and skipper Harry Kane are in the squad.

Three Lions Face Croatia & Spain

England have two Nations League games coming up, starting with Croatia at Wembley Stadium. They are already through to the quarter-finals, but can the English steal first place from Spain?

Tuchel’s troops have taken nine points from a possible 12, scoring a staggering 14 goals along the way. The only blemish was a 3-2 home loss to the world champions in September.

After facing the Croatians in London, England finish Group A3 with a tasty game against Spain in Madrid. Can the Three Lions end their group campaign with two wins?
