The Chelsea standout, along with ex-Manchester City teammate Rico Lewis, received a last-minute invitation to join the English national team due to several player injuries.

Upon Palmer’s arrival at the team hotel, he was welcomed by Conor Gallagher, his fellow Blues club member.

Playfully, Gallagher expressed disbelief upon learning about the 21-year-old’s call-up, jokingly suggesting that he initially thought it might be a prank.

After exchanging congratulations and a friendly embrace, Gallagher remarked, “Congrats, I didn’t realise you were called up, I thought it was a blag at first.” Palmer responded, “It looked real, so.”

This recognition for Palmer comes on the heels of his impressive performance at the club level this season. Since transferring to Chelsea on the deadline day, Palmer has netted four goals in the Premier League across 10 appearances.

Notably, all four goals were scored from penalty kicks, including the recent dramatic equalizer at Stamford Bridge against his former club on Sunday.

Gareth Southgate’s squad is scheduled to face Malta on November 17, followed by a match against North Macedonia three days later in the Euro 2024 qualifying games.
