England, one of the favorites to win the 2026 World Cup, has been hit by the loss of Tino Livramento through injury, after the fullback was ruled out of the tournament.
Tuchel’s 26-man roster selection raised eyebrows, and Livramento’s inclusion was certainly a gamble, given that he’d only recently recovered from a thigh injury that kept him out of action for two months. Still, the Newcastle United star has long been admired by the German, dating back to when he was rising through the Chelsea ranks around the same time Tuchel was first-team boss.
