England star Tino Livramento is set to withdraw from the World Cup squad due to a hamstring injury, according to The Telegraph. The Newcastle United full-back suffered the injury in training and will miss the tournament.
Replacement Expected
England head coach Thomas Tuchel is expected to select a replacement, with Chelsea's Trevoh Chalobah in contention. FIFA allows nations to replace injured players up to 24 hours before their first World Cup match.
Recent Matches
Livramento came on as a half-time substitute during England's 1-0 win against New Zealand on June 6 and did not feature in the 3-0 victory over Costa Rica last Wednesday. The 23-year-old was pictured in training over the weekend as England prepared for their World Cup opener against Croatia on Wednesday.
