New York, June 30 -- England defender Tino Livramento has undergone an operation on the calf injury that forced him out of the World Cup at the last moment.
The 23-year-old, who has played five times for his country, suffered the injury in training as England put the final touches to its preparations in Florida in the days before its openingGroup L match against Croatia.
The injury forced Livramento to return to Newcastle for treatment at his club, with Chelsea's Trevoh Chalobah drafted in as a late replacement, a decision that means the England squad now contains six central defenders and only three fullbacks.
Livramento's club, Newcastle United, posted an update on his condition on Tuesday.
