Palmer told he would be first sub for England team despite being 'world-class' for Chelsea

Glen Johnson has shared his thoughts on Cole Palmer being called up to the senior England side.

The former Chelsea defender believes Palmer would be the first substitute for the England attack due to Jack Grealis being injured.

“Yeah, possibly, like you say, he’s been world-class," said Johnson. And at the moment, to be honest, Chelsea only look like scoring when he’s got the ball.

"So for him to sort of drag that team along almost single-handed, that’s not easy to do.

"If he could do that in arguably a better team, then he definitely can do it on a bigger stage.

"So if you think about the other players right now, [Jack] Grealish is injured, a few are not firing.

"So yeah, I think he would definitely be the first sub or in the front three. As long as he continues this form, he’s banging right on the door.”
