Tuchel on Palmer: He misses meetings too often due to injuries

Thomas Tuchel has spoken about the situation with Cole Palmer, who left the England squad due to injury. The German specialist admitted that the footballer misses international meetings too often due to health problems. "He misses training sessions too often because of injuries. It's not his fault, but I can only judge what I see in my team. If you're not in the national team camp, there's a certain level you can't reach unless you're doing it in your team," Tuchel said. Palmer earned a call-up to the national team after a strong start to the season with Chelsea, but was forced out of the squad due to a muscle problem. The 24-year-old midfielder had four goals and two assists in seven games for the London club at the time of his call-up.
