Chelsea fans on social media have reacted without disappointment to Cole Palmer’s latest omission from the England squad, seeing the news as a positive for their club. Thomas Tuchel left the 24-year-old midfielder out of his squad for November’s Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain.
Chelsea’s medical staff informed England that Palmer was fully fit, but Tuchel opted for continuity from the previous squad. The German said Palmer was “missing too many opportunities to show what he can do”, stressing that the decision was not personal and leaving the door open for the future. Morgan Rogers was Chelsea’s only representative in the national team.
Chelsea fans on social media were unanimous in their reaction:

Tuchel not picking Cole Palmer… honestly, a blessing in disguise… he needs rest… he needs to focus on getting back to his best for Chelsea. His fitness has to be the priority.

England’s loss. Chelsea’s gain.

Honestly, I’m glad Cole Palmer didn’t get a call-up… more time to rest and fully recover… Chelsea need a fit, goalscoring Palmer… Club football above all.
Sammy_boy0 summed up:
No England call-up for Cole Palmer. No extra miles in his legs, no fatigue from international travel and 100% focus on winning the Premier League for Chelsea.
Palmer has made 14 appearances for England since his debut in November 2023. He previously missed the World Cup through injury and withdrew from the previous Nations League squad because of muscle problems. This season, the midfielder has started every Premier League match for Chelsea, scoring five goals and providing three assists in 11 appearances.
