Palmer himself asked not to call him to the England team

Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer deliberately refused to participate in the September and October meetings of the England national team. Earlier it was reported that the football player left the national team due to an injury. According to insider sources, this time Palmer made the decision to skip matches on his own. The Englishman wants to reduce his playing load and get more time to recover. England will play four Nations League matches in the next two months. The team will meet the Czech Republic twice - on September 29 and October 6. England will play one more match against Spain on September 26 and Croatia on October 3. Palmer remains an important player for the England team, but this time he decided not to take part in the upcoming international cycle. Earlier, the head coach of the English national team, Thomas Tuchel, commented on the return of Palmer and defender Trent Alexander-Arnold.
