England Under-21 boss Lee Carsley promises that he will help Manchester City youngster Cole Palmer develop his game.

Palmer scored an impressive goal as the Young Lions picked up a 2-0 win over Kosovo to start off their Euro 2023 qualifying campaign.

The City talent got his chance after Emile Smith Rowe pulled out through illness, and did his best to impress the coaching staff throughout the game.

Carlsey said post-game, per Shropshire Star: "It's a really tough team to get into and, like a lot of players who play for the top six clubs, it's very difficult to get game time on the level that they have to.

"The thing we can do with England is to support him as much as we can, we rate him highly, he more than deserved his place in the squad.

"The balance is making sure we try to get his minutes and keep supporting him because he's a real talent.

"I have been around international football a while now and nine times out of 10 you have players in the squad who, if someone drops out, are more than capable of starting. Cole took his chance."
