England defender Tino Livramento has undergone surgery after being forced to miss the World Cup, his club Newcastle have confirmed.

The full-back suffered a calf injury in the days prior to England’s first match at this summer’s tournament against Croatia.

He was replaced in the squad by Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah and returned to Newcastle for treatment.

The Magpies issued an update on his condition on Tuesday.

A statement read: “Newcastle United can confirm that Tino Livramento has successfully undergone a minor surgical procedure.

“The defender, who returned from World Cup duty with an injury, is expected to return during pre-season.”

Livramento, 23, missed the end of Newcastle’s 2025-26 campaign with a thigh injury but had made a comeback as a substitute in England’s friendly against New Zealand on June 6.
