Palmer reportedly set to withdraw from England squad due to 'load management'

[p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/palmer-cole/h8agbDt7/"]Palmer[/a] was recalled to the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/england/j9N9ZNFA/"]England[/a] squad by Tuchel for the upcoming Nations League games over the next two weeks in the season’s first international break. [/p][p]Tuchel has made eight changes from the World Cup in his 27-man group, who face [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/spain/bLyo6mco/"]Spain[/a], Czechia home and away and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/croatia/K8aznggo/"]Croatia[/a] in an extended Nations League period. [/p][p][b]Despite his changes, [i]The Athletic[/i]’s David Ornstein reports that Palmer is set to withdraw from the side due to load management. [/b][/p][p]The 24-year-old has made seven appearances in all competitions this season, scoring four goals and providing two assists for [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/chelsea/4fGZN2oK/"]Chelsea[/a], who have had a very tricky start to the season. [/p][p]Tuchel had suggested that Palmer's return offered him a chance to prove a point after missing out on the World Cup squad, but the midfielder may miss his opportunity to shine under the German coach once more. [/p][p][b]"They had a good start to the season," [/b]Tuchel said of Palmer and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/alexander-arnold-trent/CEVJy6Bc/"]Trent Alexander-Arnold[/a], who was also called up once more. [b]"They never did something wrong. We just chose different players. [/b][/p][embed guid="5d9bfcc1-767d-4413-824a-18cfe922d905" url="https://x.com/Matt_Law_DT/status/2101928672236109881?s=20" social-type="twitter" /][p]"So now it is a new competition. Some players, some positions, have more injuries. Some have less injuries. Cole has his starts that he always had but he has his numbers back - he has his assists back, he has decisive goals back - so that is why he is in the squad. [/p][p][b]"I think he has a point to prove, and the same goes for Trent. He was never off the list. He was never non-selectable for us, and it is his chance to show, come to camp and be the best version of himself." [/b][/p][p]Question marks also hang over Manchester United pair Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo, making Tuchel's life harder as he attempts to make a good start in the Nations League.[/p][infobox id="5a8fbd57-e97c-4bdc-9f6b-fb0fb254e893" /]
