There's been a last minute change to England's 2026 World Cup squad due to injury.
Newcastle United full-back Tino Livramento has been ruled out of England's World Cup campaign with a calf injury and has been replaced by Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah.
Teams in the World Cup are allowed to replace injured players 24 hours before the kick-off in their first game of the tournament.
With England's game against Croatia kicking-off at 3pm local time (9pm UK time) on Wednesday, England manager Thomas Tuchel had to make the decision about swapping the players today.
The rule only applies to outfield players, an injured goalkeeper can be replaced at any point during the entire tournament with Fifa approval.
