Chelsea interim boss Calum McFarlane reacts to the news that Cole Palmer has been left out of England’s World Cup squad by former Blues boss Thomas Tuchel. TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 0:01 Joao Pedro and Colwill? They both trained today. Both promising and we're hopeful they'll be fit for Sunday. No other updates. 0:25 Tottenham performance? We knew it would be a challenge physically and mentally. We pushed as hard as we could. We were good value for the 1-0 lead. We got the second goal and didn't have much more push. 1:17 Atmosphere?

There's going to be lots of them - moments like this. And if you have the right mindset, you can turn it into a positive. 5:29 Reece James has trained today. We'll play it day by day with Reece. He's fit and in good condition but we know we need to manage him carefully. He played a lot of minutes in the final - and that will take it out of you. 6:01 Players not being called up for World Cup? In terms of Cole and the England announcement, that was made at 10am - we haven't had time to speak or get a feel for the group. Training was really good. 7:25 Hato’s development? It's always challenging; someone so young, coming from a different league. The Premier League is a uniqu
