England manager Thomas Tuchel has announced that Cole Palmer will not join the national team for the November Nations League fixtures, stating the Chelsea forward "misses too many chances to impress." Palmer, 24, has dropped out of the squad ahead of the matches against Croatia on Thursday, 12 November and Spain on Sunday, 15 November.

In his selection, Tuchel has opted for Josh King from Fulham and Jobe Bellingham of Borussia Dortmund, both receiving their first call-ups to the England squad. Tuchel expressed confidence in the players from the previous camp, emphasizing:

We have enough number 10s and we stick to the guys who were in the previous camp.

• Josh King can play across the attack, providing flexibility.

Tuchel acknowledged Palmer's desire to play for England, highlighting that performance in camp is crucial:

It counts when you are in camp and I just said last time that he misses too many opportunities to impress.

Injuries have impacted the squad as well, with Bukayo Saka sidelined for six weeks following a quadriceps injury against Bayern Munich. Alex Scott also misses out due to an injury sustained during the previous match against Croatia.

Other notable absentees include Marcus Rashford and Tino Livramento, along with Trevoh Chalobah. Meanwhile, James Garner and Morgan Gibbs-White retain their spots, and Ben White and Djed Spence return after previous withdrawals. Declan Rice and Ezri Konsa are also back in the squad, ready to contribute this November.
