Newcastle's Tino Livramento Out of World Cup Opener: Chelsea's Trevoh Chalobah to Step In
Newcastle's Tino Livramento has suffered an injury that will force him to miss the upcoming World Cup tournament. England is scheduled to face Croatia in their Group L opener, but Thomas Tuchel's plans have been disrupted by Livramento's hamstring injury. With just 24 hours before the first game, Tuchel will need to name a replacement, with Chelsea's Trevoh Chalobah rumored to be the chosen candidate.
Livramento's call-up to the England squad came after a season marked by injuries, including knee, hamstring, and thigh issues that kept him out of 25 games. Despite his setbacks, Livramento has six England caps to his name, making his debut under Lee Carsley in November 2024. On the other hand, Chalobah, 26, has only received one call-up for his country, which resulted in a 3-1 friendly defeat to Senegal a year ago.
