Livramento will miss the World Cup, with chalobah as his replacement
Dino Livramento has to miss the World Cup with a hamstring injury, and Dervoj Chalobah is an unexpected call-up.
Thomas Tuchel is forced to drop Dino Livramento's name ahead of the World Cup. The Newcastle United defender will miss the match with a hamstring injury. Dervoch Chalobah has been named as his replacement.
Livramento looked set to make England's first major final when he picked up the injury in training. Although the injury is not too serious, he has to miss the World Cup as he does not pose any risk. The England team management acted quickly, and appointed Chalobah as a replacement.
He can be appointed because the law allows countries to replace a player from their 55-man preliminary list 24 hours before their first World Cup match. The call to Chaloba was unexpected. He received this news while on holiday in the US. Tuchel is well-versed in the Chelsea player during his time at Stamford Bridge and has high regard for his abilities. In 2018, Chalobah expressed his desire to play in the One Day World Cup. England begin the World Cup on Wednesday with a group opener against Croatia. Then, there are meetings against Ghana and Panama in Group L.
