'He can throw people off balance': Southgate explains why he continues to use Palmer as a substitute

Cole Palmer has not been named in a single starting XI for England in this summer's Euros, despite the team's lacklustre performances.

He has been a bright spark every time he was brought on but it seems that manager Gareth Southgate intends to continue that trend.

“There’s that uninhibited style that he brings," Southgate replied when asked why he brings Palmer on from the bench. "He can throw people off balance.

"He can open things up. Of course, when you come on as the opposition are tiring, there’s a different picture so the job that the guys are doing at the start, is also important."
