Former Tottenham Hotspur star, Rafael van der Vaart, has criticized England manager Thomas Tuchel for his ‘strange’ choice to include two ‘overrated’ Arsenal players – Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze – in his World Cup squad and dropping Chelsea’s Cole Palmer.
Van der Vaart feels the former Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain coach made a mistake by not including Palmer in the Three Lions squad for the World Cup.
“When I’m watching the squad, I think [Eberechi] Eze and [Noni] Madueke are overrated,” Van der Vaart stated to AceOdds.
“Madueke isn’t playing for Arsenal, and Eze is only playing sometimes. I think they are just a bit overrated.
“I mean, Madueke is still a good player. I also know him very well from when he played at PSV.
“The only thing I just really don’t understand is that Cole Palmer was not selected. That is a very strange choice.”
