Less than 48 hours after England finished second at EURO 2024, midfielder Cole Palmer immersed himself in training to prepare for the new season.
Palmer was the author of a beautiful equalizer for England against Spain in the EURO 2024 final. However, that was not enough to help the Three Lions win the championship. After EURO, Palmer returned to the gym to practice.
In the latest image shared by Palmer on Instagram, he is lifting weights to strengthen his muscles. In fact, Palmer did not play much at EURO 2024, so his physical strength was not eroded much. In the tournament in Germany, the midfielder on Chelsea’s payroll only played as a substitute for a total of 145 minutes of play.
With Gareth Southgate leaving the England team, Palmer’s opportunities at the Three Lions will certainly be much brighter in the near future. What he needs to do is continue to maintain high performance to be called up to the national team under the new coach. Currently, it is unclear who Southgate’s successor will lead England.
Last season, Palmer experienced an explosive season for Chelsea with 25 goals and 15 assists after 45 appearances in all competitions. He is the number 1 star of The Blues even though he just joined the club from Man City, scoring great goals to help the home team win tickets to the European Cup.
On July 25, Chelsea will play their first friendly match with Wrexham in the US. Everyone is looking forward to seeing how The Blues will perform under new head coach Enzo Maresca.
