Cole Palmer has faced heavy criticism regarding his dedication to the England national team after pulling out of Thomas Tuchel's latest squad. The Chelsea attacking midfielder played the full match for his club on Friday but withdrew from international duty, leading to prominent pundits demanding clarity over whether he genuinely wants to represent his country on the international stage.
England manager Thomas Tuchel has been forced into an early reshuffle of his Three Lions squad ahead of the upcoming Nations League fixtures. Five high-profile stars have withdrawn from the national team camp, leading to immediate opportunities for two rising midfield talents to prove their worth on the international stage.
Morgan Gibbs-White is poised to replace Chelsea forward Cole Palmer in Thomas Tuchel's latest England squad following a minor injury setback. The Nottingham Forest midfielder narrowly missed out on the initial selection but now has the chance to impress during the upcoming Nations League fixtures.
Liam Delap has been told what he “needs” in order to become Harry Kane’s successor in the England national team, with Bobby Zamora admitting to GOAL that replacing an “extremely special” striker will be almost impossible.
