Cole Palmer Withdraws from England Squad Due to Injury
Chelsea forward Cole Palmer has withdrawn from the England national team squad due to a muscle injury. This decision comes just days after he was recalled by England manager Thomas Tuchel for the opening UEFA Nations League fixtures.
Palmer, who was previously left out of the England squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, had made a notable start to the 2026/27 season, scoring four goals and providing two assists in seven appearances for Chelsea. He played the full 90 minutes in Chelsea's 3-0 defeat to Brentford before the injury prompted his withdrawal from international duty.
This marks another setback for Palmer, who had expressed feeling physically stronger and back to his best after an injury-disrupted previous season. England is set to face Spain at Wembley on September 26, followed by matches against Czechia on September 29, Croatia on October 3, and Czechia again on October 6.
