Four months after England fell to Spain in the Euro 2024 final, Cole Palmer revealed the frustrating lows of his time playing under Gareth Southgate. Prior to suiting up for the Three Lions, Palmer finished his 2023–24 campaign with Chelsea in top form.

Cole Palmer has said that he was "frustrated" by the lack of opportunities given to him with England during the country's run to the final of Euro 2024.

Despite his prolific debut season for Chelsea, where he netted 25 goals across all competitions following his transfer from Manchester City, Palmer found himself warming the bench during England's first two matches at the European Championship.
