Kol Palmer will not be part of England's squad for the matches against Albania and Latvia. The 22-year-old has not been able to recover from a muscle injury in time for the first qualifying matches for the 2026 World Cup.
The Chelsea star will remain with his team for specialist medical checks. He will be replaced by Nottingham Forest winger Gibbs-White, writes A2 CNN.
The latter has excelled in the Premier League, but was left out of the team by coach Tuchel, who brought Ajax captain Jordan Henderson back into the national team. (A2 Televizion)
