Livramento reportedly took part in only part of England’s final preparation. He appeared from the bench against New Zealand, then remained unused against Costa Rica in the second warm-up match.
The update says the full-back’s latest problem follows a thigh issue that had already disrupted his finish to the club season. That history may make England cautious, particularly with a demanding tournament schedule ahead.
Trevoh Chalobah is reportedly being considered as the replacement. His ability to operate across the back line could appeal to Tuchel, although any call-up would depend on confirmation of Livramento’s absence and the final squad requirements.
If the withdrawal is confirmed, Dan Burn would reportedly become Newcastle United’s only England representative at the tournament.
That would be a notable change for Livramento, who had appeared to be part of the conversation around England’s full-back options. His pace, mobility and willingness to advance from deep offer a different profile from more conservative defensive choices.
For Newcastle, the immediate priority will be understanding the severity of the injury and building a careful rehabilitation plan. The club will not want a short-term setback to become a longer absence.
Tuchel now faces a late selection question, with Chalobah potentially stepping into a group that had been prepared with Livramento in mind. The manager’s final choice could also reveal how much defensive versatility he wants available from the bench.
England’s medical checks and squad confirmation will be the next key steps. Until then, Livramento’s World Cup omission remains probable rather than official - but the Newcastle defender’s tournament hopes appear increasingly fragile.
