Trevoh Chalobah is set to join up with the England squad to replace injured Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi.

The 26-year-old Chelsea defender is due to link up with the squad for England’s final World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Serbia, but it has yet to be officially announced.

The Three Lions have already qualified for next summer’s tournament.

Chalobah earned his first call-up under England manager Thomas Tuchel in May and then made his debut against Senegal.

In September, Tuchel said Chalobah was unfortunate to be left out of the squad for qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia, and also didn’t call him up for the subsequent October international break.
