Chelsea Star Cole Palmer Set to Withdraw Himself From England Squad and Reason Comes to Light: Reports
- Chelsea star Cole Palmer is expected to withdraw from England's upcoming Nations League squad for load management. The 24-year-old was recently recalled by head coach Thomas Tuchel after being omitted from the World Cup party.
- Palmer featured in all five Chelsea Premier League matches this term but struggled with injuries during a disrupted 2025/26 campaign, recently saying on a Twitch stream that he "had one leg for 10 months."
- The Athletic's David Ornstein reports the decision aims to prevent long-term injury risks. Palmer has scored four goals and two assists across seven appearances for the Blues this season.
- Manchester United duo Kobbie Mainoo and Marcus Rashford may also withdraw from the Three Lions camp, as both sustained an "issue" during yesterday's 1-1 draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage.
- England faces a challenging schedule over the newly expanded three-week international break, with four fixtures starting against World Cup winners Spain at Wembley on Saturday, September 26.
