Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah is expected to earn a late call-up to Thomas Tuchel’s England squad as a replacement for the injured Marc Guehi.
The defender of Sierra Leonean heritage will join the national team ahead of their upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia.
The Three Lions have already secured qualification for next summer’s tournament, allowing Tuchel to rotate his squad and test fringe players.
Guehi, a key figure in recent England selections, was forced out after suffering an injury during Crystal Palace’s Conference League clash with AZ Alkmaar.
The 25-year-old missed Palace’s weekend draw against Brighton as he continues his recovery.
Chalobah has featured prominently for Chelsea this season, missing only four matches across all competitions.
The 26-year-old earned his first England call-up earlier this year under Tuchel and made his debut in a narrow loss to Senegal.
Despite that appearance, he is yet to add to his international caps.
The defender’s inclusion means he will join club teammate Reece James in the England camp, where Tuchel is finalizing his squad for next year’s World Cup.
The German tactician remains unbeaten in qualifying, having guided England to six wins, 18 goals scored, and none conceded.
With Guehi sidelined, Chalobah will now compete with Dan Burn, Ezri Konsa, Jarell Quansah, and John Stones for a central defensive role.
His versatility and composure on the ball have made him a reliable option at Stamford Bridge, and Tuchel is expected to assess him closely during training.
England’s upcoming fixtures provide an opportunity for Chalobah to prove his worth and force his way into the manager’s World Cup plans.
