Newcastle United defender Tino Livramento is set to miss the start of pre-season after his World Cup was ended by a calf injury.

The full-back has had surgery after pulling up in training just three days before England's group opener against Croatia on 17 June.

Following an assessment, England's medical team estimated Livramento would be out for about four or five weeks.

Manager Thomas Tuchel, as a result, called up Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah in his place.

"I was very disappointed and very sad," Tuchel said at the time. "All of us were.

"It was a little shock in training when he stopped training and he straight away had the feeling that this could be an injury that costs him the tournament and, unfortunately, he was right."

Livramento has since had a minor surgical procedure and Newcastle expect the 23-year-old to return to action at some point this summer.
