Tino Livramento is a doubt for England's World Cup campaign after sustaining a muscular injury during training on Sunday. The Newcastle United full-back is being assessed by medical staff ahead of England's opening fixture against Croatia on Wednesday.
The 23-year-old had already faced fitness concerns, having missed the final five weeks of the Premier League season with a thigh injury prior to the tournament. His World Cup participation was already uncertain before this latest setback.
Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah, who is on England's stand-by list, is understood to be a possible replacement for Livramento should the Newcastle defender be ruled out.
Squad depth at full-back affects England's defensive reliability, a factor that typically influences Group G match outcome and tournament performance odds in early-stage assessment markets.
