Cole Palmer is set to be handed an England recall following his World Cup snub, talkSPORT understands.Chelsea star Palmer was one of the biggest names left out by Thomas Tuchel this summer but has started the season in excellent form.Palmer already has four goals and two assists this seasonGettyBournemouth midfielder Alex Scott, part of England’s pre World Cup training camp in the USA, is also in strong contention for a place in the squad for the upcoming Nations League games.With Dean Henderson sidelined by injury, Coventry goalkeeper Carl Rushworth, highly regarded withing the FA, is also in line for his first senior call-up.Tuchel names his squad on Friday at 10am. England have four Nations League fixtures in the upcoming international break, beginning their campaign against Spain at Wembley on Saturday September 26. They travel to Czechia three days later before facing an away clash at Croatia on October 3. The final match of the extended international break sees the Three Lions play host to Czechia on October 6. All of these matches are live on the talkSPORT network.Palmer back in the mixA poor 2025/26 season saw the former Manchester City man fail to make it into the 26-man squad at the World Cup in the summer.In a campaign which saw him get affected by injury, Palmer managed just 11 goals and and three assists in 34 appearances.However, he’s started this term with real purpose having scored four goals, two of them in the Premier League. He also has two assists to his name this season.Palmer is hoping to add to his 14 senior England capsGettyNew look England?It remains to be seen who else gets the nod, but there could be first England caps earned by Scott and Rushworth over the coming weeks.As mentioned, Bournemouth midfielder Scott flew out to America for England’s pre-World Cup training camp but did not join them once the tournament started. Scott, heavily linked with transfers to Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United during the summer, has represented England at under-18, under-19, under 20 and under-21 level. Coventry City goalkeeper Rushworth has made just four appearances in the Premier League conceding ten goals upon what’s been a difficult return to the top flight for the Sky Blues.However, the 25-year-old has been tipped for a call-up to the England senior squad following his impressive campaign in the Championship last season. talkSPORT understands Rushworth was disappointed not to be selected by Tuchel in the summer with Brighton’s Jason Steele serving as England’s fourth goalkeeper during the pre-tournament training camp. Scott is understood to be valued at £80million by BournemouthGettyRushworth joined Coventry on a permanent transfer from Brighton in a £22.5m deal, a club recordGettyExplaining the decision to pick Steele over Rushworth, Tuchel said: “Jason is a bit of a particular one because we’re planning to take four goalkeepers to the World Cup and the fourth goalkeeper then has a special role.“The three goalkeepers will compete and support each other for the matches but they will also compete for a place in goal.“The fourth goalkeeper in a World Cup is then a specialist. He will support the goalkeeper group, he will support the goalkeeper coach, he will support a penalty-taking group and take a lot of workload off the other shoulders and that’s why we need an experienced guy.“We need a guy with quality, with experience and with the right energy and attitude and we believe that Jason is this guy, so this is kind of a trial to find out how this group works together for the World Cup.”
