Tino Livramento sustained a calf injury in training and has been ruled out of England's FIFA World Cup squad. The Newcastle left-back was removed from the squad before England's opening match against Croatia in Dallas.
Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah, aged 26, has been called up as Livramento's replacement. Chalobah has just one senior England cap, earned in a 3-1 defeat to Senegal in 2025, and operates primarily as a central defender.
The injury exacerbates concerns about England's defensive depth. Key starters Reece James and John Stones both suffered significant injury problems during the previous season, raising questions about the squad's defensive robustness through the tournament.
Livramento's absence and Chalobah's limited international experience may impact defensive odds and match-result markets for England's Group L games, as bookmakers adjust for potential backline vulnerabilities.
