Chalobah named as Livramento's World Cup replacement over Alexander-Arnold
Summary

Trevor Chalobah has been selected as Tino Livramento's replacement in England's World Cup squad, following Livramento's calf injury sustained in training. Jamie Carragher expressed that he is not surprised by manager Thomas Tuchel's decision to omit Trent Alexander-Arnold, citing concerns over his defensive capabilities. Alexander-Arnold was one of several high-profile players excluded, and Carragher believes that Tuchel favors team cohesion over individual talent. England's opening match against Croatia is imminent, and the squad will need to adjust to this last-minute change.
