Thomas Tuchel has cast doubt on Cole Palmer's appetite for England duty after the Chelsea forward pulled out of the latest squad with a fitness issue — the second such withdrawal since Tuchel took over as manager, according to Sky Sports.
Palmer has featured just three times for England under Tuchel's reign, and the head coach has openly questioned how "desperate" the player is to represent his country, per the report.
The comments come ahead of England's clash with Spain, which fans can follow via Sky Sports' website and app on Saturday. No further details on the nature of Palmer's injury have been disclosed.
