England faced a setback just before their World Cup opener against Croatia as Newcastle United’s Tino Livramento was ruled out of the tournament due to injury. Livramento sustained a calf injury during Sunday’s training session in Dallas, which is expected to sideline him for approximately six weeks. Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah has been called up as his replacement in the England squad.

In a separate development, Tunisia has made an unexpected coaching change after their opening match defeat at the World Cup. Following a 5-1 loss to Sweden, Tunisia dismissed head coach Sabri Lamouchi and appointed Hervé Renard to lead the team for the remaining two group games. Renard, known for his signature open-collared white shirt, is set to participate in his third consecutive men’s World Cup with a third different nation; he previously managed Morocco in 2018 and Saudi Arabia in 2022. This move comes amid internal turmoil within the Tunisian camp as they seek to improve their chances in the tournament.
