Sept 21 (Reuters) - Chelsea ⁠forward Cole Palmer has withdrawn from the ⁠England squad with a muscle injury, according ‌to British media reports on Monday, ending a brief return to Thomas Tuchel's plans after being left out of ​the manager's World Cup squad ⁠this year.

Palmer played ⁠the full 90 minutes in Chelsea's defeat by Brentford ⁠on ‌Friday after earning a recall for England's Nations League fixtures against Spain, ⁠the Czech Republic and Croatia.

The 24-year-old has ​responded strongly ‌to his World Cup disappointment, rediscovering top ⁠form with ​four goals and two assists in seven appearances for Chelsea this season.

England kick off the first ⁠four matches of their Nations League ​campaign against newly crowned world champions Spain at Wembley on Saturday before travelling to Prague to ⁠face the Czech Republic on September 29.

Tuchel's side then take on Croatia in Rijeka on October 3 before hosting the Czechs at Wembley ​three nights later.

The extended three-week ⁠international window is the first under FIFA's revised ​match calendar, which has combined ‌the traditional September and October ​breaks into a single three-week period.
