It's going a little better for Cole Palmer … Transparent for long months with Chelsea, the left -hander formed in Manchester City had given up the rally last March. Summoned by Thomas Tuchel (for the first of the German coach at the head of the Three Lions), the 23 -year -old crack was slightly injured and the blues had asked a little rest for their player at the English federation.
Cole Palmer has better finished exercise 2024-2025 with the formation of Enzo Maresca. He presents a balance sheet of 15 goals and 8 assists in the Premier League, for a qualification in the Champions League of the West Londonian club. He did not score during the victorious course in the league conference but delivered two assists during the final against Real Betis 11 days ago.
Palmer has directly integrated the starting eleven of the English on Saturday during the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Andorra, at the RCDE Stadium, L'Antre de l'Espanyol de Barcelona. He evolved in 10 behind Harry Kane, with Morgan Rogers and Noni Madueke on the wings and a Bellingham Jude replaced in the midfield compared to the meetings of March against Albania (0-2) and Latvia (3-0).
Discreet palmer, Madueke wins points
Replaced in the 65th minute by Eberechi Eze, Cole Palmer did not necessarily shine against the very low Andorran formation. He only struck once to the goal, from afar, before giving way to the Crystal Palace prodigy. His teammate Madueke was the most impactful in the starting eleven and he served Kane for the sole goal of the Three Lions (50th).
England is in the running in a group of five in the World Cup 26 qualifiers and therefore has nine points on the clock, five more than Albania, before finding Andorra on September 6. Tuchel's training continues with a friendly meeting against Senegal, Tuesday in Nottingham. The lines of the workforce will have the opportunity to shine.
