Newcastle United defender Tino Livramento is a major doubt for England’s World Cup campaign, with Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah poised to replace the full-back.
Livramento, 23, is understood to have sustained an injury during a training session on Sunday before England’s World Cup opener against Croatia on Wednesday night (21:00 BST).
While the Football Association is not commenting on the extent of Livramento’s injury, it is understood there are fears he could be out of action for up to four weeks.
Livramento’s involvement in the tournament had already been in doubt after he missed the final five weeks of the season with a thigh injury.
If, as is now expected, Livramento is ruled out of the tournament, Chelsea defender Chalobah is set to replace him – though he will not join up with the squad until after the Croatia match.
Outfield players who sustain a serious injury or illness can be replaced in a World Cup squad up to 24 hours before the team’s first match of the tournament gets under way.
Livramento, who was handed his international debut under Gareth Southgate in November 2024, has featured five times during Tuchel’s reign, starting twice.
He came on at half-time during England’s 1-0 warm-up win over New Zealand but was left on the bench against Costa Rica.
Reece James is Tuchel’s first choice at right-back but there are also question marks about his fitness, following another injury-plagued campaign.
The 26-year-old missed nine games for Chelsea at the end of the season because of a hamstring injury.
Other options who are already in the England squad include Djed Spence and Ezri Konsa.
Spence, who can play on both flanks, has featured six times under Tuchel while Konsa, predominantly a centre-back, has played 11 times, including nine starts.
Chalobah has not featured for England since June 2025 when he played the full 90 minutes in a friendly against Senegal, but was on the bench for multiple World Cup qualifiers under Tuchel.
Like Konsa, the 26-year-old’s preferred position is centre-back.
A DISNEY legend has been rushed to hospital after suffering a stroke, leaving his nearest and dearest concerned.
The musician, known for films such as Aladdin and Beauty and The Beast, is currently under medical care following the scary incident.
Paebo Bryson is best known for songs such as Aladdin’s A Whole New World and the titular track for Beauty And The Beast, a duet with Celine Dion.
The family of Peabo, who is now 75, have shared that he suffered a stroke this week in a worrying ordeal.
In a statement shared with Variety, they said: “Two-time Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and balladeer, Peabo Bryson — the voice behind the Oscar-winning Disney songs ‘Beauty and the Beast’ and ‘A Whole New World’ — has suffered a stroke and is currently under medical care.
“At this time, the family requests privacy as they navigate this deeply personal moment together.
“The thoughts, prayers and love of friends and fans are welcomed and deeply appreciated.”
Hailing from South Carolina, Peabo is married to singer Tanya Bryson (née Boniface) and a dad to eight-year-old son Kitt and older daughter Linda.
Peabo has had a lengthy music career with numerous accolades under his belt.
In 1992, his performance of Beauty and the Beast with Céline Dion won him a Grammy award in 1992.
A Whole New World, which he performed with Regina Belle, also bagged him the gong the following year.
Alongside his Disney hits, R&B star Peabo has a string of solo hits across the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s.
Songs If Ever You’re in My Arms Again, Can You Stop the Rain and Feel The Fire all hit the top end of the charts.
Back in 2019, he suffered a mild heart attack and was hospitalised.
At the time, his family assured doctors expecting Peabo to make a full recovery, with his health appearing in check up until this new scare.
“House of the Dragon” Season 3 will see Rhaenyra Targaryen take back King’s Landing — but the war is far from over.
HBO on Friday released the final trailer for the upcoming season of its epic fantasy, which teases brutal battles, many dragons and the Targaryen queen returning to the capital of the Seven Kingdoms to claim the Iron Throne.
“I see you have been merciful,” Alicent Hightower (played by Olivia Cooke) says to her childhood friend (Emma D’Arcy) in the clip. “But the crown is a weight that crushes. You’ll do things that spell death for all involved.”
And if the trailer is any indication, there will be a lot of bloodshed in Season 3.
The second season of “House of the Dragon” left off with Rhaenyra and Alicent plotting for the former to take King’s Landing with minimal resistance in exchange for the latter’s freedom. Unfortunately, Alicent’s promised tribute — her son King Aegon II — has fled his castle so things won’t go exactly as planned.
After a slowburn of a second season, a higher octane Season 3 will kick off with the highly anticipated Battle of the Gullet, a fight at sea that is regarded as one of the bloodiest and most violent clashes in the history of Westeros. “House of the Dragon” showrunner Ryan Condal recently told Entertainment Weekly that the premiere is “arguably the craziest episode of television ever made.”
The new trailer shows that everyone will be reeling in the aftermath. According to the footage, what awaits Rhaenyra during her reign are fearful subjects, conniving enemies, sleepless nights and plenty of anguish.
“In a war, all suffer,” Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) says in the trailer.
“House of the Dragon” Season 3 will premiere June 21.
COMEDIAN Katherine Ryan has come up with a theory as to why Katie Price has fallen for the charms of estranged husband Lee Andrews – and it’s due to past ‘trauma’.
Podcaster and mum-of-four Katherine explained on her social media her thoughts behind the Katie and Lee drama.
“So much unkindness around this story like so many of us haven’t also been bewitched by some bullsh*t,” the presenter wrote alongside the video featuring the former glamour model.
Within the footage, she told followers: “He’s been missing for five days. Katie doesn’t know where he is. She was a guest on Good Morning Britain.
“She was supposed to appear with him to address all these rumours that he’s a scammer and she appeared by herself, obviously, and she’s like, Lee’s stuck in Dubai, he can’t get out yet.
“People are being so unkind about it, they’re like, Katie is involved in this, there’s no possible way that someone can look past this amount of evidence into thinking that someone is this virtuous kind human being that she says he is.”
She continued: “I think what’s happened is this: she has a rescuer syndrome, for whatever reason.
“Being the firstborn, she’s very different to her brother and sister.
“She’s had trauma that mixes things up, but I think she’s also made so many romantic mistakes publicly that this one is so big, she’s fearing, oh, if this all comes out and he’s exposed as this scammer then I look stupider than ever, everyone’s gonna say I’m foolish.
“She cannot let that be true. So it’s a mix of like shame and loyalty. She just wants it to be true so badly that she’s constructed this reality where she’s hopeful.
“I think it’s a really sweet thing, like, yeah, it looks dumb to the rest of us. Yeah, she did not practice due diligence as she rarely does, because she married him after a week.
“All of that is bad. There are children involved in her life, she should potentially try to unravel herself from these romantic calamities and focus on her family, but she has said he makes her happy.
“She’s just so hopeful that it’s true. In the past, I’ve been in relationships not as bad as any of Katie’s, I don’t think, but some dodgy ones where when your friends and family start to express their horror that you are with this obvious loser.”
She admitted: “You just dig your heels in harder. You’re like, no, I can’t have this be untrue. I am going to show my loyalty. I’m going to sit here next to this man.
“I’m going to fix whatever problem he has. I’m going to show him enough love that all of these things that he says are true are magically going to be true.”
Concluding her opinion on Katie’s estranged husband’s whereabouts, she said: “Right now, he’s been missing for, I think, this is the sixth day, and she truly believes he’s maybe been kidnapped and hopefully this is the final straw for her.”
Fans commented: “Call me delusional, but I just feel sorry for Katie. It just seems like she just wants to be loved, and don’t we all.”
A second supported: “The amount of sh*t I have believed over the years from an attractive man is incredible.”
A third agreed: “I think you have hit the nail on the head. She has been treated so bad in relationships (we have all seen the documentaries). Someone has shown her love and she has gone with it.”
“I’ve always felt desperately sorry for her… She just wants to be loved,” echoed another.
Singer Paloma Faith interjected: “I don’t know that it’s dumb I think I wanna give her a big cuddle and say it’s ok. Let’s get back to therapy (as I always have!) No one will rescue her until she rescues herself.”
The self-proclaimed multi-millionaire, 43, has disappeared and has left his new-wife with “sky high anxiety”.
A missing persons’ report has been filed with the British Embassy in Dubai and Katie believes he could have been kidnapped.
