Roy Keane has criticized Cole Palmer for withdrawing from England's national team squad and suggested the Chelsea midfielder "has too many bad habits." Palmer was originally chosen for England's upcoming Nations League matches but later left the squad along with several other players, including Declan Rice, Kobbie Mainoo, Marcus Rashford, and Tino Livramento. The decision comes after Palmer, who wasn't included in Thomas Tuchel's World Cup squad earlier this year, struggled with a groin injury for much of the previous season. During a live stream on Twitch, Palmer said he felt he had "one leg for 10 months," highlighting the extent of his injury problems. Speaking ahead of England's 3-2 loss to Spain at Wembley, Keane was skeptical about Palmer's impact on the national team, especially given his absence from Tuchel's World Cup squad. "Well, I think, whatever his injuries, and if he is injured… I watched his last game against Brentford and if you think he's going to get England to another level and win trophies, forget about it," Keane told ITV. "I like Palmer, he's a talented boy, but he's got far too many bad habits, for me." Earlier this week, Tuchel addressed Palmer's absence from the squad, saying the midfielder has "missed too many opportunities" with the national team. "He misses too many camps," Tuchel said. "That’s the overall headline. We have a lot of invitations and he couldn't make this one. It is what it is. I am not ready to focus on players who are not here. The players that are here have my full attention." Tuchel emphasized that he can only focus on players who are physically present in training camps, as that's where he can assess their performance and contribution. Tuchel acknowledged that Palmer's absences are a missed opportunity but did not place blame on the player. "It is a missed opportunity. He misses too many opportunities. I don’t blame him for it. It is just a fact," he said. "He misses way too many camps with injuries, and I only want to rely on what I witness within my team, and for that you have to be in camp." The comments highlight the challenges faced by players trying to balance club and international commitments, especially when dealing with recurring injuries.
