Newcastle United defender Tino Livramento is a major doubt for England's World Cup campaign, with Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah poised to replace the full-back.
Livramento, 23, is understood to have sustained an injury during a training session on Sunday before England's World Cup opener against Croatia on Wednesday night (21:00 BST).
While the Football ***** ociation is not commenting on the extent of Livramento's injury, it is understood there are fears he could be out of action for up to four weeks.
Livramento's involvement in the tournament had already been in doubt after he missed the final five weeks of the season with a thigh injury.
If, as is now expected, Livramento is ruled out of the tournament, Chelsea defender Chalobah is set to replace him - though he will not join up with the squad until after the Croatia match.
