Mikel Arteta gives Gareth Southgate "radical" Arsenal solution to World Cup injury crisis

Gareth Southgate was dealt another injury blow on Wednesday, as Ben Chilwell suffered a muscle injury in the Champions League.

The Chelsea defender felt his left hamstring go in the dying moments of their 2-1 win against Dinamo Zagreb at Stamford Bridge. He is now a doubt for England's World Cup opener against Iran in just 18 days' time, with Southgate's squad announced next Thursday.

Chilwell is the latest Englishman to suffer an injury in the days leading up to the World Cup. Reece James and Kyle Walker-Peters are almost certain to miss the tournament through injury, while Kyle Walker and Kalvin Phillips are still to make their comebacks.
