Cole Palmer has insisted he is 'not crying' over Thomas Tuchel's decision to axe him from England's World Cup squad this summer - but says he won't pay close attention to their progress. The Chelsea star‚ 24‚ appeared to have carved out a long-term future with the national team after impressively bursting on to the scene at Stamford Bridge and scoring in England's Euro 2024 final against Spain‚ but an unprecedented dip in form has seen him fall out of Tuchel's plans completely. The German's decision to omit Palmer‚ as well as Real Madrid defender Trent Alexander-Arnold and Manchester City star Phil Foden‚ came as a huge surprise to several fans and will remain a talking point if England continue to struggle in attacking areas as they did during their disappointing 0-0 draw against Ghana.
England stars overlooked by Thomas Tuchel this summer have wasted no time enjoying themselves while their team-mates pursue World Cup glory. Even a few months ago‚ it might have been hard to imagine an England squad without Harry Maguire‚ Cole Palmer‚ or Phil Foden - or all three Premier League stars. However‚ amid issues with injury‚ form‚ and competition in position‚ the top-flight bold-faced names have all been left behind.
Foden‚ 26‚ had been sitting ringside at the AO Arena in Manchester on Saturday to watch Tommy Fury's bout with Eddie Hall when footage of the incident went viral. Phillips‚ who shot to fame after claiming to have slept with 101 men in one day‚ could be seen making a beeline for Foden before being spotted by his long-term girlfriend.
England have been in the States for over a week now‚ training ahead of their first match of the tournament on June 17 against Croatia. The whole group is now together after the four Arsenal players - Bukayo Saka‚ Declan Rice‚ Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke - were afforded extra time off after the Champions League final‚ with the 26-man squad locked in and ready to go. There was debate when Tuchel named his squad around the likes of Phil Foden and Cole Palmer being left out‚ and Terry has now chimed in too. And‚ speaking on Sports Uncensored ‚ he suggested at least 11 of the 26-man squad should not be featuring if England want to be successful this summer.
The overlooked duo have been packing for the beach and pool while their England team-mates prepare to make waves in North America. Maguire‚ 33‚ is hanging out with his wife of almost four years‚ Fern‚ while 26-year-old Foden has been playing in the pool with his three kids Ronnie‚ True‚ and Phil Jr‚ presumably alongside his partner Rebecca Cooke.
IAN LADYMAN: Thomas Tuchel has talked about this being a World Cup of big moments and now the first one has been and gone. This is not the World Cup squad many people will have expected or picked. A 26-man party with no Trent Alexander-Arnold‚ Cole Palmer and Phil Foden would have been unthinkable when England travelled home from the European Championships as beaten finalists less than two years ago. But to those who have followed Tuchel's England through qualifying‚ this is a national coach sticking to patterns‚ beliefs and benchmarks he set out on the very first day in the role. Whether the football public agrees with him is another matter entirely.
England boss Thomas Tuchel says the England squad he is taking to the World Cup are those who are 'unselfish' and '100 per cent committed' rather than the most-talented footballers - in an apparent shot at those who will be left at home. Tuchel named his 26-man squad to take to the United States today‚ confirming the high-profile omissions in a squad that was leaked on Thursday night: Leaving Harry Maguire‚ Trent Alexander-Arnold‚ Phil Foden‚ Cole Palmer‚ Lewis Hall and Luke Shaw at home. Those moves have been met by anger from some England fans - and Maguire's family. His mum said she was 'absolutely disgusted' and wife Fern says he is 'up against a single opinion'.
Daily Mail Sport readers have had their say on the players Thomas Tuchel should select in his 26-man squad as England look to win this summer's World Cup. Tuchel will officially announce his squad on Friday for the tournament in the United States‚ Canada and Mexico. Harry Maguire and Phil Foden are among the big name stars to be confirmed to have missed out‚ but Daily Mail Sport readers backed both to be included.
Harry Maguire has not been picked in the England squad for this summer's World Cup by manager Thomas Tuchel‚ with the stalwart's mum branding the decision as 'disgraceful'. Tuchel names his 26-man squad for the tournament tomorrow morning - and Maguire is not on his list. Nor‚ we understand‚ is his Manchester United team-mate Luke Shaw. Manchester City's Phil Foden is also set to miss out.
Man City get what everyone wanted as Phil Foden gesture and Pep Guardiola message offer welcome hint
JACK GAUGHAN AT THE ETIHAD: The pragmatist spun the wheel‚ hunched over the table and watched the roulette ball go. With Manchester City in their current guise‚ winning felt like red or black‚ 50-50. Josko Gvardiol had not played a single minute since breaking his leg in January - in from the start. Savinho's confidence on the floor after an omission from Brazil's 55-man World Cup long list - in from the start. Among six changes‚ five players - including the influential Phil Foden and goalscorer Omar Marmoush - were given the nod despite amassing just 20 starts together since New Year's Day‚ an accumulative 85 matches.

Former Man City skipper Kyle Walker‚ who played for the club between 2017 and 2025 before leaving for relegated Burnley‚ was also present‚ though didn't appear to have partner Annie Kilner with him.
