"Tuchel" snubs 2 star players in England's 24-man squad for UEFA Nations League clashes against two major teams.
On 6 Nov 2026 GMT+7, Thomas Tuchel announced England's squad for two crucial UEFA Nations League matches: hosting Croatia on 12 Nov and visiting Spain on 15 Nov.
Notably, Chelsea star Cole Palmer and Manchester City attacker Phil Foden are the two big names omitted by Thomas Tuchel from the England squad, following their exclusion from the 2026 World Cup roster.
Cole Palmer has sparked the most debate due to his strong form this season, scoring 5 goals and providing 3 assists across all competitions, with only Chelsea teammate Morgan Rogers contributing to more goals.
Meanwhile, Tuchel has called up two newcomers to the "Three Lions" for the first time: Jude Bellingham's younger brother, Joe Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund, and 19-year-old rising talent Josh King from Fulham.
