Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah trains with England squad ahead of World Cup

Chalobah trains with England squad

Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah has trained with the England squad ahead of the World Cup next month, following the withdrawal of James Tarkowski from the standby list.

The 18-year-old has only appeared in the youth set-up for the Blues, but did feature for the England Under-19 side that won the European Championships in 2017.

Burnley defender Tarkowski pulled out of the senior England squad to undergo hernia surgery, meaning that Chalobah was invited by Gareth Southgate to join training.

Manchester City youngster Angus Gunn trained with the squad in the first week of camp, but has now left the set-up following the return of Tom Heaton.

Chalobah's brother, Nathaniel, is also training with the squad after his injury-hit season at Watford.
