Why do players withdraw?
When a player like Cole Palmer is called up for England but then withdraws due to injury, it is usually a joint decision between the national team manager and the player's club. The club wants to protect their asset, and the national team doesn't want to risk aggravating an injury. Medical assessments are key to these decisions.
