England defender Tino Livramento has been ruled out of the World Cup after suffering a calf injury, prompting coach Thomas Tuchel to make a late change to his squad ahead of the team's opening match against Croatia.
The English Football Association announced on Tuesday that Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah has been called up as Livramento's replacement and will join England's training camp in Kansas City.
According to the FA, the Newcastle United full back sustained the injury during a training session on Sunday.
A scan and medical assessment conducted on Monday confirmed that Livramento would be unable to take any further part in the tournament, the FA said in a statement.
Livramento was included in the squad largely because of his ability to play on both sides of the defense. Comfortable at both right back and left back, he was expected to provide cover for Reece James, who has struggled with injuries in recent years.
Chalobah, meanwhile, has mainly featured as a central defender for Chelsea but is also capable of playing at right back.
England are set to travel to Dallas for their first Group-stage match against Croatia on Wednesday.
Under tournament rules, teams are allowed to replace injured players up to 24 hours before the kickoff of their opening match.
