Chelsea's Trevoh Chalobah trains with England World Cup squad

By PA Sport

With just three weeks until England's World Cup campaign begins our reporter Rob Dorsett gives an update on Gareth Southgate's squad during a training session at St George's Park

Chelsea teenager Trevoh Chalobah trained with England's World Cup squad on Monday morning.

Defender Chalobah, 18, was invited to St George's Park after the withdrawal of Burnley's James Tarkowski - who was on standby for Russia.

Chalobah has not played a senior game for the Blues but has been a star performer in their youth set-up and was part of England's victorious under-19 side at the 2017 European Championship.

Leicester's Harry Maguire was missing from training but he is not carrying an injury and is instead following a personalised conditioning programme.

Chalobah joined brother Nathaniel during the session, with the Watford midfielder working alongside the senior squad following an injury-hit season.
