The Chelsea forward has started the season with four goals and two assists, raising optimism around his hopes of inclusion in the Nations League squad. Palmer was one of the players who missed out on the World Cup squad after struggling for form and fitness. However, his recent performances have caught the attention of Tuchel, who is weighing up claims from a host of players who failed to earn a place in his plans last summer.
Tuchel's first selection since the World Cup will be confirmed on Friday morning, and Palmer is among several players in contention for a spot. Alex Scott, the Bournemouth midfielder, is also in the running, having been selected as a training player for England's camp in Florida before the World Cup. England are likely to name an extended squad as they open their campaign in Nations League Group A3 with games against Spain and Croatia and a double header against Czechia.
Tuchel could shake things up, especially as some players who went to the World Cup are injured. The next step will be confirmed on Friday morning when Tuchel announces his squad for the Nations League.
