🚨 Official: Trevoh Chalobah replaces Tino Livramento into the England squad. ✅🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 https://t.co/e04dItjXS7

What happened: Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah has officially been added to the England squad for the 2026 World Cup. He replaces Tino Livramento, who was forced to withdraw after suffering a calf injury during training in Kansas City.

Why it matters: The late swap comes just one day before England's Group L opener against Croatia. Livramento had previously dealt with a thigh issue at Newcastle but was ultimately sidelined by a separate calf injury, prompting manager Thomas Tuchel to summon the in-form Chalobah as defensive

By the numbers: Chalobah enters the tournament having made 47 appearances across all competitions for Chelsea during the 2025-26 season, contributing to nine clean sheets in Premier League play.

What to watch: Chalobah joins the squad at their basecamp before traveling to Dallas, where England kicks off their World Cup campaign against Croatia on Wednesday.
