Villa defender Konsa, Chelsea midfielder Palmer earn senior England calls

England coach Gareth Southgate has called up three potential debutants for this week's Euro2024 qualifiers.

Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa, Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer and Manchester City wing-back Rico Lewis have been called up by Southgate after the weekend's Premier League round.

All three players have been capped at U21 level by England, with Konsa winning the U17 World Cup in 2017 in India.

The trio's addition follows the withdrawal of James Maddison (Tottenham), Callum Wilson (Newcastle) and Lewis Dunk (Brighton) across the course of the weekend.

The majority of Southgate's squad are due to report to St George's Park on Monday with further assessments to take place.
