England manager Gareth Southgate has revealed he called-up Chelsea's Cole Palmer ahead of club-mate Raheem Sterling because of injuries to No.10s Jude Bellingham and James Maddison.
Palmer was promoted from the Under-21s on Monday after Maddison pulled out of the squad with ankle ligament damage, while Bellingham withdrew on Tuesday due to a shoulder problem which kept him out of Real Madrid's game at the weekend.
