Roy Keane criticizes Cole Palmer over England withdrawal

Roy Keane has criticized Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer, citing “bad habits” following the player's withdrawal from the England national team squad. Despite Palmer's strong start to the Premier League season, Keane questioned whether the midfielder possesses the qualities necessary to elevate the England team to trophy-winning levels.

Palmer withdrew from the recent Nations League fixtures due to fitness concerns, marking a recurring pattern of absences. England manager Thomas Tuchel noted that Palmer has missed “too many opportunities” and camps, though he emphasized that his focus remains on the players currently available for selection.
