Livramento's World Cup in doubt after injury blow

Newcastle United defender Tino Livramento is a doubt for England's World Cup campaign after suffering a muscular injury.

The full-back is understood to have been injured during training on Sunday and is being assessed by medical staff.

England begin their World Cup bid against Croatia on Wednesday.

The 23-year-old's involvement in the tournament had already been in doubt after he missed the final five weeks of the season with a thigh injury.

Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah, who is on England's stand-by list, is a possible replacement for Livramento should the Newcastle defender be ruled out.
