- Trevoh Chalobah received a late call-up to the England World Cup squad on Tuesday as he replaced the injured Tino Livramento.
- Thomas Tuchel’s decision to turn to Chalobah has sparked debate, with some questioning why he did not select another full-back such as Trent Alexander-Arnold or Lewis Hall.
- Wayne Rooney was asked for his thoughts on Chalobah’s call-up while working as a pundit for the BBC during France’s match against Senegal.
- Rooney branded the decision to select Chalobah as “a bit strange”, and said that he would have picked Manchester United’s Luke Shaw instead.
- England now have just three recognised full-backs in their squad, with Djed Spence providing cover for Reece James and Nico O’Reilly.
