Tuchel addresses Palmer and Bellingham
England manager Thomas Tuchel said: "We are speaking now about a player that is not in camp. It counts when you are in camp and I just said last time that he misses too many opportunities to impress."
Tuchel also said: "It was a bit of an up and down [relationship], of course, but we are in a good place."
Alonso praises Palmer's form
Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso faced questions about Palmer at his pre-match press conference at Cobham on Friday. He said: "No, we have not spoken about that. We have been talking about our game on Sunday. We are very happy with Cole; I think that he's enjoying his game. He's connecting very well with the other attackers. He's helping the team. He's helping the team as well in developing and improving what we want and where we want to achieve, knowing that everything takes time, but I'm very happy with his quality, with his attitude, and the impact that he's having on the rest of the team."

Palmer has scored five goals and made three assists in 11 games across all competitions this season.
