Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer, who missed the club’s recent match against Arsenal, has officially been ruled out of England’s upcoming Nations League games.
Details: The England national team confirmed that Palmer will remain with Chelsea for further assessment after picking up an injury in training. As a result, he will not be available for the international break.
England is set to play two matches in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers—against Albania on March 21 and Latvia on March 24.
Palmer has been a key figure for Chelsea this season, featuring in 33 games, scoring 14 goals, and providing six assists.
Reminder: Without Palmer, Chelsea struggled significantly against Arsenal, delivering their worst performance under manager Enzo Maresca by a crucial metric. Their expected goals (xG) for the match was just 0.35—the lowest in 43 games since the Italian took charge.
