Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell will miss England’s World Cup campaign after suffering a “significant” hamstring injury.
Chilwell limped off during Chelsea’s Champions League group stage victory against Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday.
The 25-year-old left-back went for scans on his injury and Chelsea confirmed on Saturday that he will not be fit in time for the World Cup, which starts in Qatar on November 20.
“Following the injury sustained in our recent game against Dinamo Zagreb, Ben has undergone a scan on his hamstring,” the Chelsea statement said.
“Results show that Ben has suffered a significant injury and the defender is unfortunately expected to miss the World Cup.
“Ben will now begin a rehabilitation programme with the club’s medical department.”
