Palmer, who only trained twice in the week after picking up a knock against Manchester United last weekend, played the full 90 on Sunday but will play no part for the beaten Euro 2024 finalists in the Greek capital, who will be looking to avenge last month’s dismal 2-1 defeat at Wembley.

Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice and Cole Palmer have all dropped out of the England squad for the Nations League double header against Greece and the Republic of Ireland. Interim Three Lions boss Lee Carsley named an 26-man squad last week, the final squad before Thomas Tuchel takes over in January.

Mikel Arteta says ‘it doesn’t look good’ over Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice injuries - Martin Odegaard made his first start since September, however, England duo Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice went off at Stamford Bridge.
