England welcome new player to World Cup camp hours after 4-2 opening game win over Croatia
TREVOH CHALOBAH joined up with England training in Kansas City earlier today. The Three Lions trained at their Kansas City HQ after jetting back from Arlington, Texas. Thomas Tuchel‘s side got their World Cup campaign off to a perfect start by beating Croatia 4-2 last night. The German’s ranks were subsequently bolstered by Chalobah’s arrival into the camp. Chalobah was initially left out of Tuchel’s 26-man squad for the World Cup. But the Chelsea defender received a late call-up to replace injured Tino Livramento.

A subsequent calf injury forced him to withdraw ahead of England‘s opener against Croatia. Tuchel, 52, said: “Tino was very disappointed and very sad, all of us were. “It was a shock in training and when he stopped training he had the feeling that this could be an injury that costs him the tournament, he was unfortunately right.

He played 45 minutes of England’s warm-up friendly against New Zealand before being an unused substitute for the Costa Rica clash. Chalobah was called up as his replacement having featured 47 times in all competitions for Chelsea last term. The Blues academy graduate has earned one England cap to date, in last summer’s shock 3-1 home friendly defeat to Senegal. He last featured in a squad last November. Several England players took part in shortened behind-closed-doors matches against Sporting Kansas City earlier today. The likes of Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka and Jude Bellingham posed for pictures with players from the MLS side. CLICK ON PIC FOR STAR’S PROFILE World Cup 2026 - all the info LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!
