Cole Palmer and Levi Colwill are both key members of Chelsea’s first-team squad.
Cole Palmer has made 41 appearances for Chelsea this season, scoring 23 goals.
As for Levi Colwill, he has played 32 times and started in more than one position, left-back and centre-back, showing his importance to Mauricio Pochettino.
However, despite both players now being established Premier League footballers, that has not stopped them from taking an interest in football at youth level.
Yesterday, Palmer and Colwill went to watch a Chelsea U18s game at Cobham.
Former Chelsea captain John Terry was in attendance and was happy to see the two England internationals present, stating that it was “great” to have them there on an Instagram post.

It is back to first-team business for Palmer and Colwill today, as Chelsea take on West Ham United in the Premier League.
It is a big game for the Blues, who have a chance to overtake Manchester United.
Colwill only returned to training recently following an injury, so it is unlikely that he will start in today’s London derby.
There is no guarantee that the 21-year-old will even make the matchday squad.
Palmer, on the other hand, is fully fit and will be the first name on the team sheet this afternoon. He has been Chelsea’s best player this season.
Again, he has scored 23 times for Pochettino’s side and has also registered 13 assists. If Chelsea do go on to claim all three points, you would expect either him or Noni Madueke to be the match-winner.
Madueke was really good last time out against Tottenham Hotspur, completing five dribbles, according to WhoScored. The England U21 international also scored a fantastic goal in the Blues’ 2-2 draw with Sheffield United last month.
If Palmer and Madueke are at their best when Chelsea take on West Ham at Stamford Bridge later, that should be all three points for Pochettino’s men.
