Palmer and Lewis receive first England call-ups for Euro qualifiers

The England national football team has announced some exciting new additions to their squad for the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia. Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, Manchester City’s Rico Lewis, and Aston Villa’s Ezri Konsa have all received their first call-ups, adding new potential and talent to the team.

Palmer, who recently scored an important stoppage-time equaliser in a Premier League draw between Chelsea and City, has been a standout player since joining Chelsea from City. Konsa has been a key player in Aston Villa’s rise to fifth in the league standings, while Lewis, at just 18 years old, has made 10 appearances for Premier League champions Manchester City.

In addition to the new call-ups, the squad includes familiar names such as Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford, and Phil Foden. However, there have been some withdrawals due to injury, including James Maddison, Lewis Dunk, and Callum Wilson. Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham is also an injury doubt but retains his place in the squad.

The England team will face Malta at Wembley on Friday before traveling to play North Macedonia next Monday. With their qualification for the Euro 2024 finals already secured, this will be an exciting opportunity for the new call-ups to make an impact and potentially earn their place in the final squad.
