All three men received a call-up to Lee Carsley's maiden England senior team squad last month, having played for the former Everton midfielder with the Under-21s, winning the U21 Euro title during that time.

Palmer was forced to withdraw from September's squad following assessments by the England staff but Colwill played the full 90 minutes during the 2-0 win over the Republic of Ireland and then featured for another half an hour as a substitute when the Three Lions beat Finland by the same scoreline three days later.

The victory over Finland at Wembley Stadium also saw Madueke make his England senior team debut from the substitutes bench and the winger made an immediate impact, setting up Harry Kane for his second goal.

The Three Lions have another two Nations League games this month, at home to Greece on Thursday 10 October (7.45pm) and away to Finland on Sunday 13 October (kick-off 5pm).

Chelsea academy graduates Marc Guéhi, Conor Gallagher and Dominic Solanke have also been called up for the double-header.

There are likely to be a number of Blues youngsters named in the England youth team squads tomorrow and several Chelsea first team players are expected to be selected in other international squads for the coming weeks, with the Chelsea website and app bringing you the news in due course.
