Chelsea star Cole Palmer has now taken to social media to praise one of his England teammates after his performance last night.
He took to Instagram to praise former club teammate Rico Lewis after his player of the match display for his country on debut last night.
England limped to a 1-1 draw against North Macedonia last night to bring a bit of an uninspiring end to their qualification campaign for the European Championships next summer.
The Chelsea representation was not particularly strong for the Three Lions yesterday, after Conor Gallagher had started the previous game at home to Malta.
With Levi Colwill not present due to injury, Reece James rejecting a call-up, and Raheem Sterling somehow still being snubbed for selection, Palmer was the only representative as part of the squad.
However, he was brought on far too late to make an impact, with the Three Lions playing out a draw on Matchday 10.
Palmer praises Lewis
Despite giving away a controversial penalty, Lewis impressed when making his debut as the left-back role lacked depth.
After posting to celebrate his player of the match performance, Palmer was quick to comment praising the 19-year-old for his display.
Chelsea supporters will just be relieved it seems as if their now England international is returning to his club without injury, as they prepare for the return of the Premier League.
The fixtures don’t get any easier for the Blues either, as they carry on from facing Tottenham and Manchester City in the week before the international break.
They will travel up to Newcastle for this weekend, with Palmer again likely to play a key role in his side’s performance.
With him finding the net against both title contenders before the break, he will be hoping he can make it three in three at the weekend.
