WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>England have already secured their place in the tournament in Germany next summer, but Southgate's plans for the final two games of the qualifying cycle have been hampered by a number of injuries. James Maddison has already withdrawn due to the recurrence of an ankle problem, as have Callum Wilson and Lewis Dunk, while Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham is a major doubt. Palmer's club-mate Levi Colwill is expected to be passed fit despite missing <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-manchester-city-winners-losers-erling-haaland-terminator-cole-palmer-mistake/blt4dc974ab215b7675" target="_blank">Chelsea's 4-4 draw with Man City on Sunday</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>In a statement on Palmer, Lewis and Konsa's call-ups, England said: "The trio’s addition follows the withdrawal of James Maddison, Lewis Dunk and Callum Wilson across the course of the weekend. The majority of Gareth Southgate’s squad are due to report to St. George’s Park on Monday with further assessments to take place."<span></span></p>

WHAT DID ENGLAND SAY?

<p>The Three Lions boss may use the two games to experiment with his line-up as a result of those absences. Palmer, Lewis and Konsa will hope to make their senior debuts when England host Malta on Friday, before a trip to North Macedonia the following Monday.</p>
