Kobbie Mainoo insists that both he and Cole Palmer are ready to play key roles for England during the knockout stages of Euro 2024.
Both players had an impressive impact off the bench in Tuesday night’s frustrating stalemate with Slovenia that wrapped up Group C, Manchester United youngster Mainoo after being sent on at half-time in place of Conor Gallagher - whose job filling in following the failed Trent Alexander-Arnold midfield experiment lasted all of 45 minutes in Cologne - and Chelsea’s Player of the Season Palmer after earning his first taste of the tournament off the bench in place of Bukayo Saka for the final 20 minutes.
