Newcastle United defender Tino Livramento is a doubt for England's World Cup campaign after suffering a muscular injury during training on Sunday. The full-back is currently being assessed by medical staff, with England set to begin their World Cup bid against Croatia on Wednesday.
Injury setback
The 23-year-old's involvement in the tournament had already been in doubt after he missed the final five weeks of the season with a thigh injury. The latest setback, which occurred during a training session, has further complicated his availability for the national team.
Possible replacement
Should Livramento be ruled out, Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah, who is on England's stand-by list, is a potential replacement. Chalobah has been training with the squad and could step in if needed.
England's medical team will continue to monitor Livramento's condition in the coming days. More updates are expected as the team prepares for their opening match.
