Livramento was due to be one of nine players primed to make their first senior World Cup appearance alongside James Trafford, Nico O’Reilly, Djed Spence, Dan Burn, Jarell Quansah, Elliot Anderson, Noni Madueke and Morgan Rogers.

When England manager Thomas Tuchel was asked at the announcement of his 26-man tournament squad what the Three Lions will need to bring it home, "stay healthy" was one of his criteria.

Tino Livramentois 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 full-back'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.

We are just getting some breaking England team news from BBC Sport's senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel and it's not great.

Newcastle defender Tino Livramento's participation in the World Cup is in doubt over a fresh muscle injury concern and Chelsea's Trevoh Chalobah could be called up as his replacement.

More to follow.

England head coach Thomas Tuchel's two-year contract extension is subject to a performance clause, Football Association chief executive Mark Bullingham has revealed.

With his original deal having been due to expire at the end of the World Cup, the FA and Tuchel agreed a new two-year contract earlier this year that takes the German to the end of Euro 2028.

Former Chelsea and Bayern Munich boss Tuchel was given the remit to win the World Cup when he was appointed by England in 2024.

Bullingham was asked whether the FA is protected should England's performance at this World Cup mean it does not want Tuchel to lead the team at Euro 2028.

"There's performance clauses in every single contract at the FA, but I'm not going into any detail of what they are," said Bullingham.

Asked whether there was a break clause in the deal that Tuchel can activate, Bullingham said: "We can hold him to the contract."

BBC Sport's World Cup pundits have been busy choosing their own preferred England starting XIs, so we will throw a few of those into the mix.

Next up is a bit of news on Thomas Tuchel's contract as Three Lions boss...

England

There seems to be a broad agreement on most positions in England's starting XI, with a few exceptions, the biggest being who should play in the number 10 position and wide on the left.

There are also fitness concerns about right winger Bukayo Saka, so who would you pick instead of him and has Thomas Tuchel made a mistake in not adding more cover in this area to his squad?

OK, it feels like we have been holding off on England chat for long enough now.

Thomas Tuchel's side have been given the longest of long run-ups to their opening game against Croatia, but we are less than 33 hours from kick off now.

Three Lions fans are mobilising ahead of their opening game at Dallas Stadium - the final match in the opening round of group games - while the squad will soon be preparing to leave their training base in Kansas City.

We will be hosting a long build-up on this page tomorrow, including a Q&A session with BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty.

But today we thought we would spend a couple of hours discussing who should be in England's starting XI, amongst other things...

Still plenty more to come from us, so don't go anywhere...

Who will be happiest after the opening draws in Group G?

New Zealand head coach Darren Bazeley speaking after his side led twice before drawing with Iran:

"I am extremely proud of the players and performance. Really good in possession, created a lot.

"We've come off disappointed not to win. We scored two really good goals and it's going to hurt because we had a chance to make history.

"I am so proud though."

Both teams will be pleased, it’s an important point at the start of the campaign. Sometimes when you are watching a World Cup you’re expecting real high-quality teams to maybe face a low block and have to break teams down.

This was just really refreshing as it was two teams going toe to toe, they are proud to be at the World Cup and came out swinging away. Neither could quite get the win but it sets it up for the rest of the group.

Whatever has happened off the field to the Iran contingent in the build up to their World Cup opener, on the field former Everton midfielder Leon Osman says they were able to go "toe to toe" with New Zealand...

Iran head coach Amir Ghalenoei says they are the "most oppressed" team at the World Cup after having last-minute travel restrictions imposed on them.

Speaking after his side's 2-2 draw with New Zealand on Monday night, Ghalenoei said they had expected to stay in Los Angeles overnight and have a recovery session the following day but were told after the final whistle to immediately return to their training base in Mexico.

Iran were originally due to be based in Tucson, Arizona, for the duration of the World Cup but moved their camp to Tijuana, Mexico in late May after encountering logistical and visa issues.

"After the game they said to us, 'you have to leave immediately'," Ghalenoei said.

"We've been asked to get on a plane and return to our camp in Tijuana and we are really troubled by that.

"They are forcing us to go back early. They are making the situation more and more difficult, more hurdles, but we're not going to let that stop us from doing our best."

Iran's involvement in the World Cup has been plagued with uncertainty, linked to the ongoing war in the Middle East and related security concerns.

When I was outside the sentiment was clear in terms of the anti-regime chants, the anti-team chants.

Many people were saying we cannot separate the team from the regime. They don't represent us, they represent the Islamic Republic. And those are a very specific group of people, those who are anti the Islamic republic, mainly monarchists. And they were there because they wanted to carry the pre-revolution flag, the lion and sun flag.

They were protesting because Fifa had banned it. But they were also there to make sure their voices were heard - that they were not there to support the team.

Then it gets more nuanced as it gets closer to the stadium, you see people going in, and you ask them 'how do you feel about that?'

Then it starts to get more conflicted. One woman told me, 'I'm here for my dad, he died in 2020 and he loves the Iranian national team and loves football. I'm trying to separate them. I'm really torn. I want to be there to honour my dad, because I love the game, and I love Iran. I don't like the government and I'm trying to separate them.'

Outside, you hear 'the mullahs' team is not my team, regime change in Iran' and then the Iranian team score and there's a raucous cheer, and you have republic flag and monarchist flags flying, and they're cheering for the team.

That whole match represents what this team is up against. I don't remember a team coming into a World Cup carrying so much political baggage. And at every stage of the match you could feel that baggage inside and outside the stadium.

Here's how fans enjoyed the game in the Iranian capital of Tehran last night.
