Chalobah replaces injured England defender Livramento at World Cup
KANSAS: England defender Tino Livramento has been ruled out of the World Cup after suffering a calf injury and replaced by Trevoh Chalobah on the eve of the team’s opening match against Croatia. The Newcastle right-back, 23, sustained the injury during a training session at the team’s Kansas City base on Sunday. Chelsea center-back Chalobah, 26, who has one cap, will not join up with the squad until after Wednesday’s match in Arlington, Texas. “Trevoh Chalobah has been called into England’s 26-player squad at FIFA World Cup 2026 after injury sadly forced the withdrawal of Tino Livramento,” an England team statement said. “Arrangements are now being made for the Chelsea defender to make the journey to the team’s base camp in Kansas City, while the rest of the squad will head to Dallas, Texas for the Three Lions’ opening group fixture against Croatia on Wednesday. “Newcastle United defender Livramento picked up a calf injury in training on Sunday afternoon. “A subsequent scan and medical assessment on Monday unfortunately confirmed he could play no further part in England’s tournament.” Livramento, who has six caps, missed the final weeks of the Premier League season with a thigh injury. England’s other two opponents in Group L are Ghana and Panama.
Mixed emotions ahead of Haiti vs. Brazil for dually aligned fans headed to the World Cup game
PHILADELPHIA, USA: Like many other Haitians, Peguy Joseph is a longtime superfan of Brazil, the world’s greatest soccer power. In a few days, though – for the first time in his life – he won’t root for the Brazilians. He has a World Cup ticket to see them play, in a wildly improbable matchup, against the team from his beautiful but beleaguered homeland of Haiti. “It’s a double joy,” said Joseph, who lives in Florida and will travel to Philadelphia to attend the game on June 19, for his birthday.
This Sweden defender at the World Cup isn’t your typical soccer player: He’s a baron!
MONTERREY, Mexico: Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are among the soccer royalty gracing the World Cup in North America. If you want real-life aristocracy, head to Sweden’s squad. Gustaf Lagerbielke, a 26-year-old defender who played the entire match in Sweden’s 5-1 defeat of Tunisia on Sunday, is a baron from a noble family in Sweden. His father and grandfather are counts. Soccer players typically come from modest backgrounds — take Messi and Ronaldo, for example. Not Lagerbielke. “I mean, it’s rare,” he said in an interview ahead of the World Cup. Lagerbielke grew up in Djursholm, a wealthy suburb in the Swedish capital, Stockholm.
AC Milan hires former Manchester United coach Rúben Amorim
MILAN: AC Milan hired Rúben Amorim on Tuesday, five months after he was fired by Manchester United — with the Portuguese coach set to face his old club in one of his first matches. Amorim was regarded as one of the top emerging coaches in Europe before his reputation took a hit in the Premier League. Milan did not announce the length of his contract but Italian media reports he has signed a three-year deal, worth 3.5 million euros ($4 million) a season plus bonuses. “We have tracked Rúben for years and his Sporting tenure is extremely impressive and reflects the style of play that we are looking for,” said Gerry Cardinale, the managing partner of Milan’s American owners, RedBird.
Austria coach Rangnick wary of Jordan at World Cup of surprises
SANTA CLARA, USA: Austria coach Ralf Rangnick is wary that his team could become the latest European nation to be thwarted by sides from the Asian confederation at the World Cup if they fail to bring their best against debutants Jordan on Tuesday. Czech Republic lost 2-1 to South Korea last week before Australia spoiled Turkiye’s return to the World Cup stage by securing a 2-0 victory. Japan then came back twice to draw 2-2 with the Netherlands on Sunday, and Group B favorites Switzerland were held 1-1 by Qatar, four years after the Gulf nation crashed out winless as 2022 hosts. “We have seen many surprises during this World Cup,” Rangnick told reporters on Monday at the San Francisco Bay Area Stadium where they face Jordan in their Group J opener. “If you looked at the matches and the outcomes, we had 12 draws and only six victories. There was no South American team that won. “This is not going to be a walkover.
