Why is Cole Palmer not in the England squad? Chelsea star's absence explained
Cole Palmer was a shock omission from Thomas Tuchel's England World Cup 2026 squad, and the reason for his absence is explained below

Thomas Tuchel's tactical vision: The England head coach prioritised current performance and specific team balance over a player's general reputation. He made it clear that star status alone would not guarantee a ticket to the tournament if it did not match tactical needs. Declining club form: After a spectacular initial period at Chelsea, Palmer's attacking dominance dropped significantly during the recent domestic campaign. He scored 10 league goals and assisted just one in 26 games for the Blues.
