And they took part in a rondo that sent social media wild as some of the stars of Gareth Southgate's squad excelled in the training drill. Check it out below:
Palmer, who has starred for Chelsea since his move from Manchester City during the summer, garnered plenty of attention as people online praised his part in the rondo.
One X user wrote: "Way Palmer uses his studs for control & manipulation of the ball is so European-like. English players & leagues are renowned for physicality/intensity/PnP, but we’re moving into a generation of elite technicality. The evolution of English football is beautiful."
A second tweeted: "Cole Palmer stands out where and when ever I watch him play football."
A third added: "Lewis and palmer will be a major upgrade for England."
A fourth said: "The Man City (educated) lads (Palmer, Lewis) and Kane were the ones attempting the ambitious, difficult passes."
Another commented: "That’s what you call next level. The piggy in the middle is possibly the best RB the Prem ever seen."
Palmer earns his first England call-up after scoring four goals this season, which includes a penalty against his former club Man City.
He received the news following his side's thrilling game on Sunday.
"I wasn't even thinking about an England call-up when I first went to Chelsea. I just wanted more of an opportunity to prove myself. Getting called up is just a bonus," he said.
"I got the news straight after the match [against Manchester City]. My phone was going crazy because I've got some City fans who are mates and family.
"So, I read it... and then I read it again when it was confirmed. I rang my dad straightaway, and he was with my mum. I told them first."
