Roy Keane has criticised Cole Palmer after his withdrawal from the England squad. According to the Daily Mail, the former player said the Chelsea man has "too many bad habits" and will not win trophies with Thomas Tuchel's team. Metro also reports that Keane targeted Palmer over this withdrawal.

England head coach Thomas Tuchel was reportedly frustrated, according to the Evening Standard. Palmer's withdrawal for the international break could have different consequences for Chelsea and England, as Trivela points out: the club could take advantage to manage the physical workload of a player who has suffered injuries in recent months, while the player could lose playing time under Tuchel. Sports Mole questions the long-term impact of this absence.
