England's defensive problems mounting ahead of World Cup with 'bad' injury to versatile Livramento

A weekend scan will determine how long Tino Livramento is sidelined as England weigh right-back options before the World Cup squad deadline.

  • Newcastle full-back Tino Livramento may miss the rest of the season with a thigh injury, jeopardizing his place in the England squad for the upcoming World Cup.
  • After sustaining a 'bad injury' in the 2-1 loss to Bournemouth last weekend, Livramento underwent an initial scan, with further testing scheduled for the weekend to determine his recovery timeline.
  • England manager Thomas Tuchel frequently selected the full-back this season, making his absence a concern for the tournament in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
  • Defensive alternatives for Tuchel include Arsenal's Ben White, along with Ezri Konsa and Jarell Quansah, though Reece James remains injured and Trent Alexander-Arnold has been overlooked.
  • The Premier League finishes May 24 and England must submit its final World Cup squad by May 30, leaving Livramento a narrow window to prove his fitness.
