Fans say ‘this is nonsense’ as PFA Team of the Season excludes England star who scored 22 Premier League goals

FANS have slammed the PFA Team of the Season after an England star was excluded.

There was no place for Cole Palmer in the line-up despite his 22 Premier League goals last term.

Instead, the Chelsea midfielder had to settle for the PFA Young Player of the Year award at Tuesday’s ceremony in Manchester.

Palmer was not named in the top flight’s Team of the Season voted for by his fellow players.

His absence came after a stellar debut season at Stamford Bridge following his arrival from Manchester City.

The 22-year-old scored 22 goals and provided 11 assists in 33 league appearances for the Blues.

As a result, his snub left fans stunned on social media, with one writing: “No Palmer. This is nonsense.”

Another asked: “How is Palmer not in this?”

A third supporter also commented: “Where is Palmer?”

Meanwhile, one more added: “Cole Palmer robbed.”

A three-man midfield of Rodri, Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard was included instead behind forwards Erling Haaland, Phil Foden and Ollie Watkins.

Foden also claimed the PFA Players’ Player of the Year award, which Palmer had also been shortlisted for.

Players’ Player of the Year – Phil Foden, Manchester City

Young Player of the Year – Cole Palmer, Chelsea

Women’s Players’ Player of the Year – Khadija Shaw, Manchester City

Women’s Young Player of the Year – Grace Clinton, Tottenham

However, the England international did take home the PFA Young Player of the Year award, though.

He edged out the rest of the six-man shortlist to become the first Chelsea player to claim the honour since Eden Hazard a decade ago.

Palmer was nominated alongside Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo, Michael Olise, Joao Pedro and Bukayo Saka.
