England Defender Livramento Out of World Cup because of Injury. Chalobah Called Up
- On the eve of their World Cup opener, England defender Tino Livramento has been ruled out through injury, with Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah called up as his replacement ahead of Wednesday's match against Croatia in Dallas.
- After recovering from a thigh injury earlier this month, the 23-year-old trained on Saturday but withdrew from media duties on Sunday when a low-grade calf tear was reported, according to The Daily Mail.
- Under FIFA rules, England manager Thomas Tuchel had until 9pm BST on Tuesday—24 hours before the opening match—to complete the replacement from the 55-man provisional list.
- Chalobah, who has one England cap, is traveling to the United States but will not feature against Croatia; he becomes available for group matches against Ghana on June 23 and Panama on June 27.
- Despite losing Livramento's versatility, England has defensive alternatives including Jarrell Quansah, Ezri Konsa and Djed Spence available at wing back, as Tuchel previously emphasized finding solutions without relying on individual players.
