Palmer 'misses too many opportunities' to play for England, says Tuchel

England manager Thomas Tuchel has said that Chelsea forward Cole Palmer "misses too many opportunities" to represent his country, after the player pulled out of the latest England squad.

Tuchel's comments come amid ongoing scrutiny of Palmer's international availability, with the manager suggesting that the pattern of the forward missing squad call-ups has become a recurring concern.

A recurring issue

Palmer, regarded as one of the most talented young attacking players in English football, has faced questions over fitness and availability in recent months. Tuchel's remarks suggest a degree of frustration over the frequency with which the Chelsea forward has been unavailable for England duty.

The England manager did not specify a timeline for Palmer's expected return to the squad, but his comments highlight the balancing act national team managers often face between club and country commitments, particularly for high-profile players managing form and fitness at the club level.
