Reflecting on the decision from a retreat in Ibiza, Palmer remained typically stoic about the situation. Speaking to i-D about the campaign that led to his omission, Palmer admitted: "This season hasn’t been the best, but it is what it is. I’m not crying over a decision you can’t change, and I hope the lads make it all the way." Despite the personal disappointment, the 24-year-old insists he will still be supporting his teammates from afar. When asked if he would find it difficult to watch the tournament, he replied: "If I’m not doing anything, then I’ll watch the matches, yeah."
