Thomas Tuchel has expressed frustration over Cole Palmer's repeated absences from England duty, according to Sky Sports.
The Chelsea forward has featured just three times for the Three Lions since Tuchel took charge, and his latest withdrawal from the squad has prompted the manager to voice concern that Palmer is running out of chances to press his case for a regular starting role.
Tuchel said the player "misses too many opportunities" to show what he can do on the international stage, suggesting the ongoing fitness issues are becoming a genuine hindrance to Palmer's involvement under his management.
With England set to face Spain, attention will now turn to how Tuchel continues to manage the situation and whether Palmer can eventually string together the consistent minutes needed to nail down his place in the squad.
