The England national team calls up "Chalobah".

Tino Livramento has been excluded from the England national football team’s roster for the World Cup, and Trevoh Chalobah has taken his place on the eve of the team's opening match against Croatia.

Coach Thomas Tuchel's team was forced to make a late substitution before facing the Croatian national team tomorrow, Wednesday, in Group 12, after the Newcastle defender suffered an injury.

The British news agency "PA Media" reported that Livramento trained with his teammates in front of the media at the team's base in Kansas City on Sunday, but questions arose later that same day after he withdrew from media duties he was supposed to perform.

The English Football Association has confirmed that Livramento (23 years old) will miss the World Cup due to a calf injury, which led to Chalobah's call-up.

An official statement from the England team said: "Trevoh Chalobah has been called up to the England squad of 26 players after Livramento had to withdraw from the squad due to injury."

The statement added: "Arrangements are currently being made for the Chelsea defender to travel to the national team camp in Kansas City, while the rest of the squad will head to Dallas, Texas, in preparation for England's opening match against Croatia on Wednesday in the group stage."

It continued: "Newcastle defender Livramento suffered a calf injury during training on Sunday evening."

The statement confirmed that "the medical examinations and scans the player underwent on Monday showed that, unfortunately, he will not be able to participate again in England's campaign in the tournament."
