MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Jude Bellingham has been a revelation for England’s national team, and now Cole Palmer has a chance to step forward and make his way into the picture for next year’s European Championship.The Chelsea midfielder had just scored a stoppage-time penalty to secure a 4-4 draw with former club Manchester City on Sunday when he learned of his late call up to the national team.“I got the message near enough straightaway after the match,” Palmer said this week.He was promoted from the under-21 squad for Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia after injury withdrawals from James Maddison, Callum Wilson and Lewis Dunk.It has been a whirlwind start to the season for a player who was on the fringes at City in August and now finds himself in a position to make his senior England debut only a few months after joining Chelsea.There is little doubt Bellingham — who has also withdrawn from the squad because of injury — will be at the heart of Gare...
