'He misses too many opportunities' - Thomas Tuchel warns Cole Palmer and Kobbie Mainoo they risk falling down England pecking order after latest withdrawals

Thomas Tuchel has delivered a firm warning to Cole Palmer and Kobbie Mainoo, suggesting the young duo are at risk of losing their places in the England setup. The Three Lions boss expressed his frustration after both players withdrew from the current international camp, describing their absence as a significant missed opportunity to impress the new coaching staff.

England manager has made it clear that regular attendance at international camps is non-negotiable for those wishing to remain in his long-term plans. The German tactician, who recently took the reins of the national side, is currently preparing for a triple-header of fixtures against Spain, the Czech Republic, and Croatia. However, his preparations have been disrupted by a series of high-profile withdrawals, with Chelsea's Cole Palmer and Manchester United's Kobbie Mainoo among those unavailable for selection.
