Cole Palmer's withdrawal for the Nations League fixtures is a setback for England's interim manager Lee Carsley, who has valued Palmer's contributions significantly.
Palmer, only recently included, has a strong record under Carsley, contributing notably to last year's Under-21 European Championship victory with one goal.
As Carsley seeks a prolonged coaching role, Palmer's ongoing success at Chelsea, with one goal and four assists this season, underscores his on-field impact.
Despite Palmer's absence, his performance so far, with 11 chances created this Premier League season, highlights his emerging status as a key player.
