Tino Livramento has been forced to withdraw from the England squad for the World Cup 2026 due to a hamstring injury.
The Southampton defender was a notable inclusion, initially set to be a key part of the team's defensive strategy for their opening Group L match against Croatia.
His sudden unavailability has led to an immediate reshuffle, with Chelsea's Trevoh Chalobah now stepping in to fill the void.
Chalobah will join the England camp ahead of the crucial fixture, aiming to integrate quickly into the squad's dynamics.
Livramento's absence is undoubtedly a significant blow to England's preparations, particularly at this late stage, as they aim to start their World Cup campaign on a strong and positive note.
The highly anticipated match against Croatia is scheduled to take place on Wednesday.
Supporters can tune into Sky Sports for coverage, which is set to begin from 7pm.
The entire team will be hoping that Chalobah can seamlessly integrate into the squad and provide immediate cover and stability in the defense for this important opening game.
