Fulham’s King included in England squad as Palmer is left out

**Fulham midfielder Josh King has been named in the England squad for the first time, but Chelsea’s Cole Palmer has been left out.**

King has earned his first senior call-up for next week’s Nations League games against Croatia and Spain.

King, 19, has impressed since breaking into Fulham’s first team, making 31 Premier League appearances last season.

He was one of four young players who joined the England senior squad at their pre-World Cup training camp in Miami, and has played for his country from Under-16 to Under-21 level.

Palmer was overlooked for the World Cup squad in the summer after a stop-start season, and he withdrew from the last England camp with a minor fitness issue.

He scored in Chelsea’s win over Manchester United last weekend, but there is no place for him in Thomas Tuchel’s 25-man squad.

Chelsea forward Morgan Rogers, who also scored against United, is included.

England play Croatia on Thursday 12 November and Spain on Sunday 15 November.
