Thomas Tuchel sends clear warning to Cole Palmer after England withdrawal: ‘This is how it has to be’

England manager Thomas Tuchel issued a clear warning to Cole Palmer following the Chelsea forward's withdrawal from the Nations League camp. Tuchel warned that "the train is rolling" without players who are absent, questioning whether Palmer and left-out forward Phil Foden can fit into his new fluid attacking system after England scored 16 goals across four matches.

Tuchel praised the commitment of the players involved, highlighting Jude Bellingham's advanced tactical role alongside strong performances from Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott and Newcastle left-back Lewis Hall. The manager emphasized that the squad made significant progress and that priority remains with players present in the camp.
