Should Palmer start against Denmark?
Speaking to Prime Casino, William Gallas said: “I don’t know if Palmer should be starting games for England, but he is a player that I hope Gareth Southgate uses at the tournament. He didn’t come on against Serbia, which will have been disappointing for him.
“I thought he should have come on in that game – he could have replaced Foden, who wasn’t at his best, or Saka, who looked a bit tired in the second half. Palmer is the kind of player that you need in situations where you are under pressure.
“You can give him the ball in almost any scenario, and even though he is still young, he is a player that isn’t afraid to take responsibility. I hope he is given the opportunity to show what he can do on this stage.
“This is a tournament where he can really show his quality if he is given the chance to do so. I don’t want to see Palmer coming on with a few minutes to go. If England give him the time his talents merits, then he will surprise a lot of people with his ability at this level.”
