The City trio all made their international Under-21 debuts last month in the Young Lions’ opening Group G qualifying clash against Kosovo’s Under-21s.
Handed his first start at Under-21 level, Palmer marked the occasion by scoring a stunning goal to help Lee Carsley’s side record a 2-0 victory.
Fellow City youngster Taylor Harwood-Bellis, who is currently on loan at Anderlecht, also made his England Under-21 bow in what was former City Under-18 head coach Carsley’s first game in charge.

And a memorable night for the Club was sealed when another City Academy graduate, Tommy Doyle – who joined SV Hamburger on a season-long loan in August - came on as a late substitute to win his maiden Under-21 cap.
Having made a winning start to their Group G qualifying campaign, the Young Lions will first travel to tackle Slovenia’s Under-21s on Thursday, October 7 before then facing Andorra’s Under-21s away on Monday, October 11.
Meanwhile, Elite Development Squad quartet, James Trafford, Josh Wilson-Esbrand, James McAtee and Morgan Rogers have all been included in the England Under-20 squad for forthcoming fixtures against Italy (home) and the Czech Republic (away).
