Cole Palmer and Levi Colwill have both withdrawn from the latest England squad. The Chelsea duo were originally part of the Three Lions group for a pair of Nations League games against Greece and the Republic of Ireland, but have now withdrawn alongside six other players.
As confirmed by Chelsea via their official website, Palmer withdrew from the England squad alongside fellow Blues teammate Levi Colwill. The 22-year-old has been struggling with injury this season and as a precaution, it was decided he could use further rest to prevent another setback.
Cole Palmer, who already has seven goals and five assists to his name for the Blues this season, is one of the most notable absentees from Lee Carsley's squad this month.
I don't think we took any risks, insisted Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca on Palmer's withdrawal from the squad, emphasizing the necessity for extra caution given his ongoing injury troubles.
