'I probably will not have a choice' - Palmer on penalties for England

Chelsea forward Cole Palmer says he would put himself forward to take a penalty for England if Saturday's Euro 2024 quarter-final against Switzerland goes to a shoot-out.

That is no surprise given the 22-year-old scored all 10 of his penalties for Blues last season.

His first international goal was also a spot-kick in June's friendly against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

"I think I would be nominated if I was on the pitch," the 22-year-old told BBC Radio 5 Live. "But I probably will not have the choice.

"I have already taken two penalties in shootouts. I missed one but that was in a Youth Cup and I was a baby. The other I scored against Newcastle last season."

Palmer says "there are so many differences" between taking a penalty in a match and one in a shoot-out, with pressure being the main difference.

"When the final whistle goes to take it to a shootout, you know you are taking that penalty and you have to stand there and wait for the coin toss and for everyone else to take theirs. The pressure builds up.

"If you miss one in a game, then you still have time to make up for it by scoring, but if you miss in a shootout then that is it and there is no chance to redeem yourself.

"I try not to be affected by the increase in pressure, but it is natural and everyone will feel it more than taking a normal one."
