A blow for the England national team: Tino Livramento to miss the World Cup
A heavy blow for the England national team just before the start of the 2026 World Cup tournament: Newcastle United defender, Tino Livramento, will miss the games due to a calf injury. According to David Ornstein's report, it is an injury that is not defined as serious but constitutes a "major blow" for the player and the team ahead of the opening match against Croatia.
Following the injury, the English Football Association officially confirmed, as reported by Fabrizio Romano, that defender Trevoh Chalobah has been called up to the squad in place of Livramento. PolymarketFC, a source that combines sports information with market insights, noted that coach Thomas Tuchel chose Chalobah from among several options available to him.
Tuchel's decision sparked mixed reactions among football fans on social media. On one hand, pessimistic claims were heard regarding the team's chances, with user sareen_719 defining it as a "major blow" that will prevent England from winning games. On the other hand, professional questions were raised by fans, such as hovie_09, who wondered why Chalobah was preferred over players like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Myles Lewis-Skelly, and Lewis Hall.
