Palmer pulled out of international duty ahead of a fixture against Spain due to ongoing pain and discomfort. Tuchel stated that while he understands the player cannot compete at the highest level while dealing with pain, missing international camps regularly makes it difficult to evaluate and rely on a player. He emphasized that a player must be present in camp to fully demonstrate their level and connect with the squad’s culture of togetherness and brotherhood. Tuchel concluded that it is simply a fact that Palmer misses too many camps, and the coaching staff will focus on the players who are available and fully eager to represent the national team.
